Car & Driver's "In-Depth Review" of the 2017 Tacoma

You love it, and will come back for more.

 

I am just sitting back, enjoying the show, waiting for the fish to bite.....hehehehe.

 

So the 2017 does 50 to 70 in 5.3 sec and the 2016 takes 13.8 sec?

 

One was an auto and the other was a manual.

The auto downshifts when you floor it at 50 to accelerate.

They leave the manual in its current gear which is why it's so much slower.

 

I like the interior...

 

Oh, you were talking about the Frontier.....

 

Pretty surprising when you think about it. Tacoma has the composite bed to save weight, and the frontier has a fully boxed frame, and is still a little lighter.

 

All the weight is in the clunky transmission and rear end

 

I had a fronty pro 4x before I bought my '13 OR. The taco is definitely slower, but I didn't buy it to go fast, and I can still get speeding tickets with it. And as much as I dislike the 3rd gen, I'd take it over a frontier any day
