2016 Toyota Tacoma Interior

After a remarkable 11 years on the market, the Tacoma-old exactly showing its age from driving, so we are happy to see some of the present-day design distinguish the new truck’s dashboard. As expected, it seems that most of these items have been selected and durability in mind, and not a luxury, but there are some inspired choices here and there, including specific trim dash inserts ranging from rubber to simulated leather. We’re also happy that the user-friendly nature of the control layout has not changed. The most responsive touchscreen interface sits front and center, and the glove-friendly climate control knobs and made secondary to the ground.

The seats Tacoma’s distinguished by low mounting position for their lack of height adjust-ability. Even if there were such adjust-ability, it would not be very useful, as it already has limited headroom for taller occupants. One of the Tacoma, unfortunately, is the quality of the range comically short of its wheels and telescoping steering – seems to come out about an inch, which is a couple of inches short of a satisfactory long-legged drivers.

To ask back seat space The Tacoma Access Cab is best for children, but the camp Double Cab’s rear there is an adult-friendly, featuring ample legroom and seat-back as angled. Both CAB includes a folding rear seat and the entry level SR Access Cab can be ordered in a package of utility that completely deletes the back seat. Out back, the Tacoma comes standard with a plastic-lined bed and four fixed four adjustable tie-down cleats, with a bed-mounted power outlet is available in some models. The tailgate is both removable and lockable, and when you open it and let go, it will not slam down; well-damped hinges lower to bumper level.
