Toyota break down
The variants for the Tacoma are long, and they start with a regular-cab pickup with a 2.7-liter 159-hp, 4-cylinder engine. The X-Runner and Pre-Runner editions have a more powerful 4.0-liter V6 making 236 hp. All the Tacomas are available in rear-wheel or 4-wheel drive, and most have a 5-speed manual transmission standard. A 4-speed automatic is available, and a 6-speed manual is standard in the X-Runner.Body styles include the regular cab, access cab (extended cab) and double cab (crew cab with four doors). A 6-foot bed with liner is standard, but a shorter 5-foot bed can be had with the double cab style. No matter which configuration you choose, the Tacoma has a standard towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Some configurations, such as the double cab with the V6 engine installed, are good for a maximum of 6,500 pounds of towing.All the Tacomas come with the Star Safety System, which includes stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake force distribution, and brake assist. They also have front driver and passenger air bags, seat-mounted and curtain air bags, active headrests and tire-pressure monitoring.The base-level regular cab has little in the way of amenities, but it does include a tilt steering wheel and CD player with MP3 playback. The access cab adds power windows and locks, plus a few extra speakers in the cab. The double cab has features such as rear seat heater ducts and a 60/40 split rear bench. The X-runner is available only as an access cab, but it has a sliding rear window and 18-inch alloy wheels. The Pre-runner has exterior touches to add an off-road appearance -- even with 2-wheel drive. The door handles and mirrors are black, the grille is distinctive, black over-fenders are added and a skid plate is installed.These are only a few of the packages and options available for the Tacoma. With two engines, two drive configurations, two beds and the X-Runner and Pre-Runner versions, the Tacoma's configuration possibilites are practically endless.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

Is 120 miles just about perfect for EV range?

Tue, Apr 15 2014

When it comes to battery-electric vehicles, our friend Brad Berman over at Plug In Cars says 40 miles makes all the difference in the world. That's the approximate difference in single-charge range between the battery-electric version of the Toyota RAV4 and the Nissan Leaf. It's also the difference between the appearance or disappearance of range anxiety. The 50-percent battery increase has zapped any lingering range anxiety, Berman writes. The RAV4 EV possesses a 40-kilowatt-hour pack, compared to the 24-kWh pack in the Leaf. After factoring in differences in size, weight and other issues, that means the compact SUV gets about 120 miles on a single charge in realistic driving conditions, compared to about 80 miles in the Leaf. "The 50 percent increase in battery size from Leaf to RAV has zapped any lingering range anxiety," Berman writes. His observations further feed the notion that drivers need substantial backup juice in order to feel comfortable driving EVs. Late last year, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), along with the Consumers Union estimated that about 42 percent of US households could drive plug-in vehicles with "little or no change" in their driving habits, and that almost 70 percent of US commuters drive fewer than 60 miles per weekday. That would imply that a substantial swath of the country should be comfortable using a car like the Leaf as their daily driver - with first-quarter Leaf sales jumping 46 percent from a year before, more Americans certainly are. Still, the implication here is that EV sales will continue to be on the margins until an automaker steps up battery capabilities to 120 or so miles while keeping the price in the $30,000 range. Think that's a reasonable goal to shoot for?

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of
