2020 Toyota Tacoma Unveiled With Mild Styling Updates, More Equipment


The 2020 Tacoma is here, but you need to take a good look at it to spot the changes compared to the 2019 model.

Toyota adopted a cautious approach when updating the styling of its mid-size truck. Basically, besides the new grille and wheel designs, smoked taillights, as well as the sequential LED headlights on the TRD Pro version, the pickup looks identical to the current model.


Not that we were expecting anything radical; after all, it’s not a new model but rather a facelift for the Tacoma — after all, it’s been America’s best-selling mid-size pickup for 14 years running.

For 2020, Toyota focused on adding equipment such as new multimedia tech and comfort and convenience features, as well as additional off-road tech for the Tacoma TRD Pro.


The updated Tacoma offers more than 30 configurations in six model grades: SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Limited. All models above SR5 gain a new, 10-way power adjustable driver seat with power lumbar support, as well as an upgraded 8-inch touchscreen display (the base SR gets a 7-inch screen) and audio system. Additionally, a new LED bed lamp is available as an option on all models.

The new multimedia system comes with Android Auto, Apple Carplay, Amazon Alexa and SiriusXM capability. The SR5 also gains an updated fabric design on the seat back and optional DRL headlights.


Moving on to the Tacoma TRD Sport, it adds Passenger Smart Key entry, chrome taillamp inserts, and new LED fog lamps. The Tacoma TRD Off-Road also gets those and available Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM) and LED headlights. As for the Tacoma Limited, it features standard LED DRL and LED headlamps, chrome taillamp inserts, 18-inch alloys, the upgraded Smart Key operation on the passenger door, and the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM).

The TRD Pro also gets several updates for the 2020MY. On the outside, it comes with new sequential LED/DRL headlamps, LED fog lights, redesigned 16-inch wheels and black-insert taillights. The new wheel model is 4.188 lbs (1.9 kg) lighter than the previous version and is shod with Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Kevlar-reinforced tire. Furthermore, TRD updated the tuning of the Fox 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks and front and rear springs. Inside, the TRD Pro gains all the other updates of the lesser models.


The 2020 Tacoma continues with two powertrains: a 159hp 2.7-liter four-cylinder and a 278hp 3.5-liter V6. Both feature a standard six-speed automatic transmission, with the V6 also offering a six-speed manual.

All Tacoma models come equipped as standard with the Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) suite that includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Sway Warning System, Automatic High Beams and High-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC).

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as ...

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu...

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel...
