Impressions on our new 2016 Tacoma.

I got a white TRD Sport, here are my impressions.

Pros:
First, dual zone heater is just a charm and is working perfectly.
The defrost is flawless (use it already with freezing mornings).
Love the ergonomics of push buttons and commands.
The touch screen and NAV system is very, very easy to use.
Back up camera works fine even inside buildings with less lightning.
The swipe a finger keyless entry option is just great (no more looking for the entry command to unlock when you have somethings in your hands).
Suspension feel a bit like a 2014 when you are on asphalt but as soon as you get on dirt roads, its a very different pick up. Find it to handle way better on gravel/dirt roads than previous Tacoma. Find it to be less sharp on asphalt, maybe because of steering?
It does use less fuel than previous gen.
Yes, a parking break lever !
Goods seating and headroom for a big guy like me that is over 200 and near 6'.
Engine as just the right pitch for the size of the pick up, smooth with a great sound tone.
Find the auto transmission very appropriate for the engine. So good match there.

Cons:
Some body panels (ex: hood) with less precise assembly (not as perfect as a 2015), probably due to assembly plant transition set up.
OEM tires are Firestone and they are absolutely no use for Canada (not rated for winter and no good for mud/dirt).

Overall:
Like it very much and this is probably going to be contagious with what happened at the dealer so far. Out of seven received Tacoma, they sold more than half of them in 4 days. Orange, Black, Blue and my White TRD already gone.

 

I agree with all of what you pointed out - same thing with our new 2016 sprort TRD. Nice truck and good luck with it.

 

Great info. Looking forward to getting my TRD sport.

 

yup, I'm impressed!

 

YEP Me too....On my forth..

 

Congrats on your new truck and thanks for taking the time to write the review.

 

Thanks for the review! I wont buy mine until next year but doing all the research I can!
