For the Off Road TRD the highway mpg jumps up from 20 to 23 on the new 3.5-liter V6 Direct Injection Atkinson Cycle motor, withy a new 6 speed
automatic, and city mpg from 16 to 18. Combined MPG is rated at 20.
That is overall 3 mpg higher than I am getting with my 2010 4.0 V-6, 5 speed automatic, on all three conditions.

If you are going to take that truck off road in Baja you better put some better tires in it.

If you are going to use a Tacoma as a real truck, better get a Dodge instead....

That's a Volkswagen Amarok. If only we could get our hands on 2.0 TDI trucks here in the US....Maybe in 10+ years

If you get FOURWHEELER magazine you should read what Darreld Walton from Arco ID had to say about Dodge. The INBOX page 8. The editor did not reply to
his comments.
But please tell me how a real truck is used.

I suppose a US driver could always import one into the US. Same rules apply as when purchasing a European or asian vehicle: Buy the vehicle, drive it
for 6 months outside of the US, then bring it into the US and register it in whatever state you wish.

Was not aware of that! I'm sure that emissions may be an issue in CA anyway? Might be worth considering for the right owner. I found some on Google
images that are set up nicely!

I'm getting used to my new 4Runner TRD Pro, it is a much nicer vehicle than the FJ Cruiser. The FJ was a very capable off road vehicle but a bit
utilitarian. If washing out your interior with a power washer is important to you get the FJ, if you want leather, nice sound system and navigation
get the 4Runner. The TRD Pro has everything for off road that the FJ had plus crawl control and a suspension that lets you drive as you wish off road.
My son has a Raptor and we did some off road comparison, the 4Runner was a smoother ride at speed than the Raptor. The 4Runner is ugly as well as the
"Inferno" color but I've gotten used to them. I would prefer a gas guzzling V8 but that's just me, the 3.5 does ok on power and economy, I haven't
pulled a trailer with it yet but it goes fast and quick enough lightly loaded.

Tacoma still does not have a diesel.
The Colorado does!
Chevy Colorado is a modern design. Tacoma is an old design,... So old they can't figure out how to fit a diesel in it.
It's cute how the Toyota fanboys continue to be loyal,... Toyota is lazy, they really need to wake up and get with it!

If you look at item #6, the awards are slow in coming over the years. In today's market, Tacoma lags in the market....full size pickups are more
capable and get better fuel mileage.

Why did they make the new Colorado look almost exactly like a Tacoma (cab)? The Tacoma owns the mid-size truck market, they are just built that good.
Chevy (GM) quality vs. Toyota is no comparison. Ford is the same story. Everyone I know who got a Ranger were also disappointed... that was what I was
going to buy at first, back in 2000. Ford dealer didn't want my trade in, so over to Toyota (where Neal Johns and others suggested), and Toyota earned
my loyalty as it has with others... Now I am on my third Tacoma and my wife just got her second new Corolla... oh, what a feeling!

I hope Toyota saw fit to install 4wheel disk brakes in the 2016 Tacoma.

So, how do you like your new Colorado goat, how is the ride on washboard? Is it a "body on frame" or unibody? What about mileage on that diesel, does
it compare to the advertised mileage?
