Fuel economy of the 2016 tacoma

So you'll need some lubriderm while watching the 2016 Tacoma reviews?

 

So much so

 

Now that I re-read that LA dealer sheet, yes. But forgive me b/c I never would call something an OR if it isn't 4x4 but that is jsut me. Hopped up dirt road maybe but OR not so much. YMMV it's just my opinion.

 

I don't consider the 4x2 an off road model, but it's what people are buying. Makes me sad

 

I am one of those because I don't do off road at all.

 

And some people don't have little penis syndrome!

 

I never go off-roading, so I'm going to get the 4x2 off-road model.

 

This is the first time I have read about a 300 pound weight loss. Anyone else seen this info around? I know they said they lightened the frame, but I did not think 300 pound savings. That is great if it is true.

 

I'm going to assume this is a troll.

But tbf for my purposes the 4x2 OR would be great. South west is dry so it's more about clearance. And better mpg plus a locker to get through a few hairier spots would be all good.

 

Yes sir sweers mentioned it when asked about towing capacity. New is 6800 lbs rather than 6500. Said cap. Increase is only due to weight savings, not redesigns because they didn't want to increase capacity. They actually shaved more iirc but added weight with certain options.

 

I'd be shocked if they knocked off 300lbs. That is a lot from a truck that only weighs ~4200 in many configurations.

 

Very cool.

I know that the 2015 Sr5 is around 4200 pounds. with 236hp/266trq

Seeing a 2016 Sr5 at 3900 pounds with 278hp/265trq would be a lot quicker.

 

Don't get out much do you?

 

I could knock off 300lbs by removing all of those dealer emblems they insist on coating the vehicles with.

Seriously though, I think the weight savings comes into play AFTER the vehicle is purchased. People tend to add all kinds of crap whether it is modifications or just junk in the vehicle.

 

What does a 4 door Colorado 4x4 weigh in at?

 

Check the chevy website.

 

Dear Diary, today I typed "chevy colorado curb weight" into Google and found things. Then for craps and chuckles I tried "gmc canyon curb weight" and found even more things! Sincerely, me.

Colorado 4wd Crew Cab: 4380 or 4450 lbs

GMC Canyon 4wd Crew Cab: 4420 or 4500 lbs

The Tacoma has a legit .7 inches higher ground clearance from the stats I saw. Not surprised by the Calomino at all. Stupid street squeegee truck that looks like a penis in the front.

 

Better than a penis in the rear.

 

Hmmm, the Drive Chicago review posted early lists 19 city / 24 highway mpg, but for "rear-wheel drive SR5... with automatic transmission". Doesn't specify body style/bed length. If I recall correctly, this is in contrast to the video review pulled earlier that says 19/24 for the 4wd OR. Maybe they are the same? Dunno.
