Air conditioning is now standard on all models. The steering wheel tilts and telescopes and it is easy to get comfy. Like all trucks, the seating position is high and visibility is good.
I think that back up cameras need to be mandatory on all vehicles, especially larger ones. Sorry Toyota, I bumped it twice when I was backing up, no worries though, this rugged truck has no dents or scratches from me.
Lack of back-up camera aside, I found this pickup to be very difficult to maneuver. I recently had a full size and didn’t need as much practice to park it as I did this one. The turning radius is wide and I had people honking at me in the Starbucks parking lot because I took so long to get it into the spot.
Sure, the Access Cab gives you the option of putting passengers in the second row of seats, but this is a work truck at heart and the back seats offer very little comfort to anyone sitting back there even for a short period of time.
For 2011, you can choose a rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive Tacoma. The 4X2 and 4X4 Access Cab are the only models to come with the 2.7litre, four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve VVT-I engine.
It is impressively powerful and the 5-speed manual transmission is easy to shift gears. It delivers 159 horsepower, 180 lb-ft of torque and has a towing rating of 1,87kg.
Regardless of the engine size or the drivetrain, the Tacoma has been carefully engineered to embody the idea of “more power and less fuel”. The Tacoma gives payload, power, space and uses less fuel than a full size pick up.
The Manual 4X2 Access Cab is rated at 10.0Litres/100km in the city and 7.7 litres on the highway. Equipped with the V6, 4X4 and the automatic transmission, it is rated at 13.3 litres in the city and 9.8 litres on the highway.
