It'll do 0-60 in under 8 seconds and probably closer to 7, fast enough for a pickup truck. The tests of your truck report 0-60 times of *over* 8 seconds, with professional drivers. I beat 8 seconds several times once the truck had 5000 miles on it, and I'm not the word's best shifter on the manual tranny. Incidentally, you boychiks left out the best parts of the CR review, the reasons why the Tacoma is the leading seller in its class: "While full-sized pickup trucks increasingly adopt luxury trappings, compact trucks remain utilitarian workhorses. The Tacoma is a reliable but down-and-dirty example of function trumping form. 'Simply put, the Tacoma is the perfect truck for landscapers and contractors. "This beast of burden has a bulletproof reliability track record, a tough-as-nails chassis, and a durable composite-Â*plastic bed. For off-roading adventures, the capable Tacoma has few peers. "True to its heritage as a work truck, the Tacoma admirably tolerates those sorts of duties. It trundled up our rock hill with ease. The damped tailgate is a charm to lower but a chore to raise. And though it varies based on the body and powerÂ*train, our truck is rated to tow 6,400 pounds—that’s a 23-foot Airstream trailer, folks." Have nice day, truck poseurs. |
