2012 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Manual Walkaround, Exhaust, Review, and Test Drive
While still a great truck, we are still dealing with a design that dates back to late 2004. We feel Toyota needs to extensively overhaul this vehicle to bring some life back into the compact truck segment.
"The 2012 Toyota Tacoma is a top choice in the midsize pickup segment thanks to its highly capable nature and wide array of configurations."
-Edmunds
2012 Toyota Camry SE Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, Test Drive
Known as a transportation appliance within the automotive world. Toyota claims their 7th generation 2012 Camry is their best one yet. We think they are right in that regard, however is it the best in the class? Not in our eyes, if you want nothing but safe, reliable transportation that blends into the crowd, this will satisfy you. If you want something more fun, we'd suggest checking out the freshly redesigned competition.
2010 Toyota 4Runner Trail Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, Test Drive
Meet Toyota's current traditional Sport Utility Vehicle. It's part of a dying market but surprisingly still has a loyal group of followers that flock to it. We think the styling of the previous generation 4Runner was much better, make sure you also check out the refined looking Jeep Grand Cherokee if you are in the market for an off-road ready SUV.
2012 Dodge Durango RT Walkaround, Exhaust, Review, Test Drive
Aside from the ridiculous aftermarket wheels, Dodge did a decent job with this new Durango.
"Thanks chiefly to its welcoming interior and athletic yet comfortable handling, the 2012 Dodge Durango is fully competitive against top crossover SUVs."

2009 Toyota Corolla XRS Manual Review, Walkaround, Exhaust, Test Drive
Our corolla of preference is still the 05-06 XRS model, however, we feel that the current Corolla could still benefit from an XRS model, lets hope that Toyota brings us a real sport compact version of this vehicle for the next generation.

2012 Toyota Tacoma Test Drive & Truck Review
http://www.autobytel.com/toyota/tacoma/2012/ Toyota has been selling compact pick-up trucks here in the U.S. ever since 1968, and in 1995 the Toyota Tacoma made its debut. Fast forward to 2012 and the Toyota Tacoma is the best selling compact truck in the U.S. by a fair margin. And for the 2012 model year the Tacoma has gotten a nice little refresh. On the outside the Tacoma sports a new front grill, hood, updated headlights, and new bumpers. On the inside some new additions are a sporty gauge cluster, new trim, seat fabrics, all weather flooring, and more. The base price for the 2012 Toyota Tacoma is $16,875 with the opt of the line model selling for $27,835.
The Tacoma comes in many different trims and configurations. There is a an X-Runner edition that features many sport truck options including a lowered stance, wider wheels, and ground effects. On the opposite end of the spectrum there are many off-roading trims available like the PreRunner and T|X Pro package which adds a lifted suspension and rear locking differential. Of course you can get the Tacoma in a variety of cab configurations like the regular standard cab, the access cab, and the double cab. You can get the bed length sized short or long.
On the 2012 Toyota Tacoma there are 2 different engine sizes: a smaller more fuel efficient 4-cylinder and a larger more powerful V-6. The 2.7 liter 4-cylinder engine makes 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft. of torque. Fuel economy is good for a truck at 21 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. The larger engine is a 4.0 liter V-6 that produces a healthy 236 horsepower and 266 lb-ft. of torque. Fuel economy for this engine is rated at 16 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway.

New 2012 Toyota Tacoma
http://www.facebook.com/TheWorldnewCars
Judging by the attention it's been getting lately, the refreshed 2012 Toyota Tacoma that's been revealed by the automaker will see its market success at the top of the compact pickup market secured in full for coming years.
To update the looks, the new facelifted model sports a new hood, grille, headlights and front bumper among other minor details that should be enough to attract customers to this workhorse.
Changes have also been made to the interior, where the Enture system that made its debut on the Prius V has been introduced. It allows for voice, touch screen and steering wheel mounted controls of the audio and infotainment systems. In similar fashion to Ford's SYNC systems, it provides the latest info on the weather, sports, stocks and even the price of a tank of fuel. The revised instrument panel and controls offer a more high-end feel and overall better quality.
Under the bonnet, the 2.7-liter four-cylinder and 4.0-liter V6 engines carry over, as does the TRD Supercharger kit that Boosts horsepower from 236 to 334 for the V6.
For both Access and Double Cab models, the available option combinations are built on five core packages. The SR5 brings color-keyed overfenders and front bumper, chrome grille surround and chrome rear bumper, intermittent wipers and upgraded interior features and trim, including a leather-wrapped steering wheel and automatic transmission shift lever.
Meanwhile, TRD Sport gets suspension tuning and lower-profile 265/65 R17 tires on 17-inch alloy wheels. This package also gives Tacoma a sporty look with fog lamps, hood scoop, TRD graphics and color-keyed rear bumper, mirrors, grille surround and door handles.
TRD Big Brake systems provide better stopping power for sustained heavy use while also giving better pedal feel. No pricing information has been released yet, but we can expect little to be changed for this mild facelift job.
2012 Toyota Tacoma Review
Just recently sold my Ranger and upgraded to this monster. This truck isn't even in the same league as the Ford Ranger. Although it does have its minor flaws, the Tacoma is a really awesome truck.
Some people in online reviews have mentioned that they don't like the squishy feel of the brake pedal. Since the truck has ABS brakes, I felt like I did have to put a little more effort into stopping the truck. However, I eventually got used to it.
Other handy features that I forgot to add:
- Small storage compartments on the side of the truck bed.
- Front passenger seat folds up so you can use the back of the seat as a tray.
- Clutch start cancel button.
- Rollover side air bag cancel button for off-road use.
- Tilt and telescopic steering wheel.
- Water bottle storage at the bottom of the driver and front passenger doors.
