    Detroit Auto Show Preview: 2016 Toyota Tacoma

      Toyota updates their best selling compact pickup to meet strong new competition.

    Toyota is updating their best selling compact pickup, the Tacoma, to meet strong new competition. Toyota released a few pictures today of the upcoming 2016 Toyota Tacoma. No details have yet been released on power and specifications.

    The Tacoma has been updated to more closely resemble it's bigger brother the Tundra. We do know that 4-cylinder and V6 engines will be available, but we do not know yet if they will be carry overs from the current model.

    Full details on the 2016 Tacoma will be revealed on January 12, 2015 at 12:50 pm at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. We will be on hand to bring you pictures and details from the show floor.

    Wonder if that was a TRD model based on the exhaust note.

     

    I will have to say this is another BUTT UGLY truck from them. It has that same uglyness that the 4Runner has and the tundra. But then conservatives have been known to buy turds by the millions. So I guess it will sell well.

    It will sell well to the folks who love Toyota but I do not see it breaking new ground. Styling is not a lot different and I just do not see it making the impact the two GM trucks will have on the segment. Not until a Ranger or smaller Ford arrives will there be much change to this segment since GM's entry.

     

    Brand loyalty is very strong in the truck segment no matter the size.

     

    The Toyota will be a better truck for sure but It will not change as many minds as the GM line.

    Toyoyo has a lot of consumer-image baggage problems, ESP in the Tacoma line.
    With a fresh contender from Chevy & GMC, (is the Ranger still en route?) toyota has a steep hill to climb.

    It looks like they took the previous Taco and added a Taurus grille and longer bed. More of an MCE but I'm sure Toyota will call this thing all new. I wouldn't even be surprised if the drivetrains were mostly carryover with maybe a switch to 6 speed automatics across the board.

      I have a feeling a co-pilot in a 747 is not landing for the first time here.

      Very interesting as I am seeing more and more of these lists dominated by the Hyundai/Kia/Genesis product lines. Autotrader's Best New Cars of 2024 - Autotrader

      My latest quest is a possible upgrade of my turntable. Right now I run a Fluance RT 82.   I just upgraded my CD game with an Audiolab 6000 CDT.    I am enjoying a ton of Vinyl right now. Classical, some jazz albums almost free. older albums often sound quite good and can be picked up quite cheaply.

      I am not aware of travel cases for internal drives. Usually you have the drive and once you have made sure you own static electricity is discharged on your body, open the computer and unplug the power cable and data cable to the HD. Then you unscrew the screws holding the drive in. Put the drive into an Anti-Static bag and then usually into a box that has foam padding on all sides to protect the drive and then tape it up to close it.  With both drives in their proper storage bags, you can then have both drives in between foam insulation for handling any dropping of the box, etc. Pack them in a box and tape shut, should then easily handle going through your carry on or checked in luggage. To ship a hard drive, you need to: Secure the hard drive in its original packaging or anti-static bag. If you don't have an anti-static bag, place the drive into a zipped freezer bag to prevent any moisture getting into the drive during transit. Sandwich the drive between foam or wrap it in bubble wrap to absorb any minor shocks. Put the hard drive in a padded shipping box. Close and seal the box. Label your package. Amazon.com : hard drive shipping box This is pretty much all you need.

      Either a co-pilot first time landing or something truly went wrong on the plane.
