    Hi Guys and Gals,

    4 cyl 4x2 2016 SR auto
    2016taco - Copy.jpg
    Major props to James at Pretoy for hooking me up. Plenty of power on I-10 and ECT mode is great. I will post mpgs as I get them. Also, will try to answer any q's and post pics as best I can.

    Edit: awesome pics guys, love the white. White was originally my first choice!

    Nice!

    I like the black grill w/o the chrome surround. When you get a chance, post some pics of the "full frontal" view.

    If he's happy with the power, I don't see why not. It's just about the lightest 2016 Tacoma you can get. Then there's cost and the fact that it's a well regarded motor with a long history of reliability in this application.

    This. Dude just bought a new truck and he likes it. Let him enjoy it.

    I didn't call him any names, I just asked why he got the old I4 vs the new 6 when it gets pretty much the same MPG

    Good question. Earlier this year I test drove a 2012 regular cab with the 4 speed and could instantly tell that the 2016 6 speed gave the 2.7 new life. I also test drove the new 3.5 and figured I could always trade up if I needed to in the future. First truck so I really don't have anything to haul/tow.

    Great looking truck OP. Congratulations.

    Not to mention everyone is raving about "I'll keep my reliable 1GR". Now he's got the latest features with a proven engine. Boom.

    I was hoping someone would start a 3rd gen 4 cyl thread. Nice, OP, get ready for a long and fulfilling life with your truck, it won't let you down. I have done nothing but regular PM on mine and at 90,000+ miles, she's still going strong.
