2016 Toyota Tacoma Bloomington IN
Toyota is one of the world's most trusted automakers because the brand continually produces reliable vehicles. The 2016 Tacoma is no exception to this rule. From top to bottom, the 2016 Tacoma is loaded with features that make it stand out as one of the best bets in the current pickup market. The Tacoma comes with two engine options, which vary quite a bit in terms of power. The standard 159-hp engine is capable of producing up to 180 lb.-ft of torque. The upgraded 278-hp, direct-injection Atkinson-cycle engine, able to bust out 265 lb.-ft of torque is great for drivers who need a little bit more under the hood to do big jobs. Unlike some trucks, which are now often offering five or six engine options, the 2016 Tacoma only has two engine options. But the lack of quantity is certainly made up in quality. That's just the Toyota way. It makes more sense to make two fantastic engines than six okay ones.
For a truck, the 2016 Tacoma is rated for pretty decent gas mileage numbers. On the highway, the Tacoma can receive up to 23 mpg. It can get up to 19 mpg in the city. In terms of safety, the Tacoma is one of the best trucks on the market. Like all Toyota models, the 2016 Tacoma comes outfitted with the Star Safety System, which includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology. This Toyota mainstay has been perfected over time, and provides drivers with extra assurance that they don't have to worry while riding in a Toyota-made vehicle. A Tire Pressure Monitor System and Rearview Camera are two more solid safety features that come standard on the 2016 Toyota Tacoma.
There are many reasons why drivers should be drawn to the 2016 Toyota Tacoma.
