The new 2016 Toyota Tacoma comes in with two engine option. There is the standard engine and also the new V6 engine. So which engine should you go for.
The 2016 Toyota Tacoma will be coming in with a 2.7 liter four cylinder engine that will be mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed auto transmission. The engine will be pushing out about 159hp.
Then there is the new 3.5 liter Atkinson-cycle V6 engine that will be delivering about 278hp. The engine will be mated to a six-speed manual or auto transmission. While some people are saying that the base engine is more than enough, the majority of them seems to think that going for the V6 option is the smarter option.
The V6 offers a lot more ponies compared to the base engine and the fuel economy difference is not that big to be an issue. The V6 will also come in handy if you are planning to use the Tacoma to tow.
You might be paying a little more to get the V6 engine, but it will all be worth it at the end of the day.
