Driving Impression

 

The 2013 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab has a very stiff suspension, which gives it a truck ride. It is definitely smaller than a full size pick up and easier to maneuver.

 

Steering is very responsive, and the ride is good, but the fuel economy is not great. The Tacoma comes with a 236-horsepower V6 engine, which has great acceleration and is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission.

Under the Hood

The V6 engine produces 236 horsepower @ 5,200 rpm
266 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm. The V-6 features Variable Valve Timing. My test drive was 4WD and had an EPA city/highway fuel economy of 16/21 mpg.

 

Inside

 

The 2013 Tacoma’s interior has a current urban feel, with 2-tone panels. The Tacoma’s front seats are supportive, and has rear seats in the Access Cab. The Bluetooth was so easy to connect and very useful during my test drive.
