TRD Pro Tacoma handled well
on and off-road, articulating
well over deep ruts and
providing excellent traction
from the tuned suspension.
Although the Tacoma utilizes
most of the same suspension
components from last year, an
independent front suspension
with Bilstein mono-tube shocks,
it does have new high-strength
steel lower control arms that
make it more durable.
At the rear, the 2016 model
features a larger 8.7-inch
diameter solid rear axle with
an improved electronic locking
differential. This makes the
truck capable of handling more
off-road abuse than before.
Tie all that with a set of 16-
inch aluminum wheels and
