Review: 2016 Toyota Tacoma (05:55)

While the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 may have been the pickup truck tale of 2015, for Motoring TV, at least, GM's return to the midsize segment was the bigger story.

With the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon back in action for 2015, segment leader Toyota knew it was high time something be down to spice up the Tacoma.

The Motoring TV team was in Tacoma, Wash., to drive the 2016 Tacoma, a truck that builds on past success with plenty of new features—including crawl control—Toyota hopes will keep it at the top of the small midsize pack in North America.

This segment originally appeared on Episode 1 of Motoring 2016.
