It’s FINALLY Taco Friday, so we’re bringing you a tasty for-sale 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport that’s been extensively modified to improve its overland ability and aesthetics. This Crew Cab long bed Taco with 75,400 miles is in great condition and is being offered by Auto City out of Alhambra, California for $41,990. Auto City attests that it runs extremely well with all maintenance up to date and that it was inspected at a certified mechanic and passed all safety inspections. And they’re putting their money where their mouth is by offering a 3 month, 3,000 mile warranty with the sale.
ABOUT THE TOYOTA TACOMA TRD SPORT CREW CAB
Ahhh, the Tacoma. The darling of mid-sized off-road pickup trucks, and deservedly so. The Tacoma was introduced in 1995 as the replacement for the Toyota Pickup (or Hilux, as it’s known by most people outside of the United States). The first generation Tacomas, offered from 1995 through 2003, were actually considered compact pickup trucks and they were immensely popular. Toyota sold about a zillion of them, and they offer bulletproof reliability, so there are a ton of them still on the road. They do still command healthy prices, with the Classic.com moving average sale at around $18,000 for the first gen.
This is a 3rd generation Tacoma, which was released as a 2015 and sported styling cues from the previous year’s Tundra and 4Runner, including a bigger grille and new smaller projector-beam headlamps. Toyota gave it a new tailgate and bed design, some new body lines and functional features like an air dam out front and some creature comforts like extra sound deadening and insulation (triple door seals!) and soft touch interior materials. Mechanically, Toyota offered a 2.7 liter I4 engine paired with a 5-speed manual (MY2016-17) or 6-speed automatic transmission, and a 3.5 liter V6 engine paired with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
Fun fact: The Tacoma was named after a mountain, not the City. "Tacoma" was originally derived from the Coast Salish peoples' name for Mount Rainier in Washington (which is near the city of Tacoma, Washington, also named after the mountain).
The Specs.
This model is a 4-door crew cab model and is of the TRD Sport trim which is the base TRD trim, and includes a hood scoop, front air dam, and has a street-tuned suspension.
