Which Truck is best? Comparison of a 2015 Toyota Tacoma vs. 2016 Toyota Tacoma. In this video, we'll take an intimate look at the differences between the 2105 Toyota Tacoma and the redesigned 2016 Toyota Tacoma. I know, I know, this isn't a full review of the 2018 Toyota Tacoma but I thought this video might be handy if you we're looking at a pre-owned model.

I would go for the 2015 because it has the amazing 4.0L V6.
Lots of complaints on the 2016+ Tacoma. The 2015 being basically the same since 2005 is a well sorted out and proven vehicle. 2015 all day! Even though it may not have all the bells and whistles.
less bells and whistles, the less to break down.........jmo
Que??????
Thanks for the information in this video. I'd get the '15.
The 2015 looks better in my opinion.
This guy is awesome . The way he talks very profesional is funny the way he takes time to express about himself and his socks this is the second presentation that I seen in the web . Cheers from Baja
Old-school guy here and that 4.0 with reliable 5-speed is awesome
Gen 3 (2016+) still have a lot of issues to work out. 2015 and below are more reliable but they are more rugged forsure. If I could have the old power train in the older Tacoma in the new body style that would be cool. Also overland built 2015 Tacoma’s look much better than built 2016
I got a 2013 3 weeks ago and I've never happier after watching this!! I really like my 04 but I'll never give up my 89.
2012-2015 for me all day. Simpler, still quicker than the new ones and a TRD supercharger will decimate all.
That supercharger! YES!
sR5 VS TRD SPORT?
Yes 2012 to 2015 are definitely the best years i have a 2015 i use to have a 2012
I love your reviews, they're very well put together. As an off-road enthusiast, I personally feel the 2015 is better equipped to handle tough obstacles on the trail. The one you reviewed, does hide the parts, but it also harms the ground clearance and the approach angle. I'm old school when it comes to trucks: the less tech, the less chance for things to break. Keep doing a great job on your reviews, they have actually served me well in finding my sister a great Lexus!
2016-2019 if you want the newest and nicest looking. 2012-2015 if you want a proven workhorse.
15 better built quality than the 16
I have a 2019 and if i had to chose between 2015 and my 2019 i think ill go by the 15 just because of the quality.
Unless all you care about is it being a mall crawler.
@@corwininadsm Most people buy their Tacomas that end up being mall crawlers/pavement princesses. 1st year in a new generation is usually less forgiving in regards to bugs or issues.
Yeah, sad. I'm sure the 3rd gen problems are blown out of proportion, but I feel the 2nd gen is reliability with no compromise. 3rd gen is all about more MPG's@@chrisginoc
2015 is the last year of the 4.0 correct?
Use can always get upgrades as far as looks for the 15 ..15 has a flawless review as far as Reliability
I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 v6. The truck has 153,xxx miles on it and is still running strong. It's been a great truck.
How about now
im sure 2015 built more quality!
I like the rear of the 2015 model.
I like the 2004 the most! It's my favorite Tacoma body style bar none! Oh yeah, I'll take it in a stick as well
hell yea bro, I just went from a 04 5spd TRD to a 13 6spd SR5. I like the 04 better but at 6'4" I fit way better in the new body style.
Awsome video/ review can’t get any better ! Thanks
So glad you liked it and thank you so much for the positive feedback!
2015 all the way, sorry.
I love my 2018 tacoma. It's nice to be able too see all the major differences. The one thing I like about the 15 was the duel 12 volt power outlets right on the dash
Good point! That 2018 is sweet though!
If you just want a Taco to roll down the freeway at 70 mph with +2 mpg improvement, then get the new gen 3 with the repurposed Lexus 3.5L V6. If you need a truck with bottom end torque and perform according to the reason you bought a 4x4 then you want a gen 2 with the 4.0L V6 designed to be a truck engine and not act like a recycled sedan engine. Search youtube... you will see even the small 2.7L I4 beats the 3.5L V6 off the line until the 3.5L gets wound up. 2015 4x4 V6 TRD Off Road 6spd MT owner here... change the grill to the TRD version that says TOYOTA instead of the double oval T, change to aftermarket projector headlamps w/HID, go to URD UnderDogRacing and upgrade your intake & exhaust with a true tuned system. Looks and performance will beat any gen 3.
IMO: 2015 has a more reliable powertrain that outputs better low end torque than the 3rd Gen. Plus, the 4.0 L will accept a TRD Supercharger that produces 305 HP when compared to the 3.5 L at 278 HP.
2015 is best Tacoma ever made imo.
I've had a 2003 and I currently have a 2013. My buddy bought the new one and has had so many issues from not being able to lock the vehicle to finding out the rear bumper is plastic and shatters upon light impact.
I’ll take the ‘16 with the ‘15’s front end and engine.
This video was really helpful for me, thank you and I would love have seen the tech display. Good job in the video
Anyone ever tell you that you look like Hank Hill's cousin that's from the city.
2015 Taco ALL DAY LONG!
Ain’t nobody got time to wait on that slow tailgate what’s in my arms is heavy!!!
Amen
Really enjoyed that. You are a good presenter.
Thank you kindly!
I love this guy.
I like the looks of the 2015 better... the 2015 looks like a truck, the 2016 plus look like a Kia
I love the headlights in my 2015
I like the '15 more. Better truck too. Had several problems with the '16s when they came out.
BOOM you killin the sock game my friend
Awesome video!!
If you changed the grill surround to the body color I would like the 2015 front more. In fact take away all the chrome (including wheels) and the 2015 looks better.
I love my 2014 TRD Sport 4x4. I went and looked at the 2017s and still like my 2014 truck better.
That's a great Video sir ! just what i was looking for ! I may or may have not missed it but i keep hearing about the engine differences between 2015-2016 know of any vidoe's that may go in depth with that ?
Think gas better on newer models
15 looks more aggressive ! 16 looks more Asian girl
16' looks more blonde with these glasses on
I'll take a well maintained T-100 over any of these
Kenworth T600.
with manual locking hubs........the best.
Neither of them are LED. How in the hell are you reviewing cars and yet not know the difference between projector and reflector headlights?
The 2016 and newer are good looking trucks. I've never liked the looks of the Toyota trucks until the redesign of the Tacoma.
You don’t need a sunroof ! I have a sunroof in one of my vehicles and I hardly use it . All you feel is a hotter roof during the summer because of the glass . . The 15 has a nicer front end . The lights are bigger and the grill is ok . The 16 thinner headlights look weird , as well as the grill . Toyota has always been a hit or miss with the front ends . Kinda like the 05 corolla ( head lights and grill are ehhh ) . I think they really need to make the grill more rectangular rather than the shape it’s in and make the headlights bigger that goes with the Tundra as well .
Agreed! The 2016+ grill is so big and ugly and not to mention the headlights are too tiny in comparison. Its just off balance
2016 transmission problems mine always hunting for a gear. 2015 is tried and proven, better truck by far. The 16 has nicer interior and that’s were it’s stops.
“I’m not knockin this truck by any means”
Better not 😒
Proud 2015 TRD Sport owner here 😇
buying the last year of an outgoing model is always better than the first year of a new model for reliability.
In 2021 I’d rather buy a used 15 than a used 16 or 17.
So get the 15 and just put led lights instead got it lol
And if you are looking for a 2017 Tacoma, no soup for you! :-)
2016 has many issues. I didn't buy it. I did my homework first and I found out the Toyota couldn't make the 2016 TOYOTA. I bought a 2015. I am very happy. It is fast and very reliable😂.
This was pretty comical. But good aesthetic comparison. Thanks.
I have the 2015 and love it, I wish tailgate locked though
Nice comparison but they are cool trucks!
Would like some 2015 Limited Wheels
Exactly! I love that wheel design too!
My '16 SR doesn't even come with a key fob ! Lol And you can only unlock the drivers side door ... no intermittent wipers ... I'm poor
I am leaning towards the 2014 or 15 as i need a truck with racks for pipes; Too bad tailgate unable to lock!
Love your presentation (and your watch)! Also FYI the headlights on the 16 are what's called "projector beam headlights".
Yes! And projectors can be easily upgraded to HID bulbs & power supply that will give 3x the light output of stock halogen bulbs. Projectors have better designed optics to put more light on the road and less in eyes of other drivers. There aftermarket projector headlight assemblies for 2012-2015 Tacos.
To be honest if it’s a Toyota I’ll take it haha I own 2010 Tacoma 2002 Tacoma 2011 Corolla 2004 4Runner and a 91 Chevy 1600 truck.. 2010 Tacoma my favorite by far... and if I had the money... would definitely be in a 2018 trd pro or sport
Advantage 15 on the ignition. You should had added when the push botton have an issue how are you able to start the truck???
Yeap that's why I didn't buy a 2017 coz there was no key ignition and if i lose the smart key how I will turn it on ? I prefer the 2013 to 2015 instead of the news trucks
Argon Ag what about if you lose your key to the 2013? Same shit. People complain about future problems but dot recall the problems they had in the previous model trucks. Same shit happens when a new model comes out. Complain about the dumbest things
Tacoma trucks are bulletproof reliable
You crack me up Howtocarguy
can keep the 4.0 and thats mathematically closer to something correct?..pistons still small/smallerrrr and that's nottt a baddd strokee at all....they have no wearrrr virtually on the bottom end at all.....
2015 TRD Pro all day!!!
Why didn't you talk about the big differences in engines?
I like the 15 better. the 16 looks more like a car. front end is weak looking. Who the hell cares about a soft open tailgate. OMG really. It is a truck. Toyota needs to go back to their roots and make a small pickup that is cheap instead of this luxury crap. How about the old sr5 with the 22re. Bring it back if you want me to buy one.
I love my 2009 grey Toyota tacoma trd sport 4x4 long bed
Gracias
You should review a classic car just to change things up a bit
Definatery the sox is the clear winner!
Lets look at some problems 15-0 problems and 16 - sorry lost count
never saw the truck outside
16 is more attractive but 15 is more reliable 🤷🏻♀️
See my Tacoma's on my channel
You should have shown the system-)
That girly man would choose the 2016 lol
Haha a man with a mangina...
Love my 2015 just hate the seats
Whats wrong with the seats? Im looking to get a 2015.. i hate how the 2016+ looks
Only thing wrong with the 15 is them rims god they ugly!! Need some factory rims on that thang!!
looks like you have the left sock on the right foot.......... or is it the right sock on the left foot............ right, no left, no right............. heck if you put in on a barge then you can say port or starboard, that would never change. too funny.
Hi, what happened to you? You have disappeared! How about reviewing 2019 4runner Limited or 2019 Highlander limited?
Consumer reports hasn't recommended a tocoma since 2015...
2015
This guy is funny
2015 engine and trans is way better
alot more money for 2016
I keep my ford pinto
My Uncle Just Sold 2001 Toyota Tacoma now he purchase highlander
I have a 2014 tacoma and I fμ©×!Ω§ love it..
15 great truck
16 terrible truck
ive had both
2015 is better and proven
It same this guy wants to sell me the 2016
good side by side review but alas all the 2nd gen trolls gotta chime in. its all good though. you can keep your boring antiquated looking interior, gas guzzling engine, and rotten frames. i love my 17 trd off road, 22k miles, and not an ounce of grief.
The TRD Off Road is my favorite Tacoma of all time.
I can easily replace the transmission fluid in my 2015. Can you? And don't believe it doesn't need to be replaced. All fluids break down.
Gas guzzling 4.0 Tacoma!? 😂 never heard of that before lol
I hate the gen 3s front. Its so ugly nd that new grill looks ridiculously ugly. Looks like a cancer tacoma
everyone who says they like the 15 better is because they don’t have a 16+ 🤪
Ha ha, vortex emulators! Those are fake vortex generators, just like fake hood scoops. I'd like a reliable rugged truck I can use for a truck, not one that appeals to a 4-eyed girly-man.
Dude horrible sales man
15 for me! The front of the 16 is ass ugly and cheap looking!
Bla bla bla no puedes hablar en español
16 is better
I don't think so
Just look at the ugly fender design radical 45° degree cuts behind the wheels front & rear from 2005-2015 horrible design the designers must had been on an LSD trip when they thought of this thats why I settled for 2017 tacoma trd.I also have to say the dash also looks out of place horrible...sticks out like a bull horns nothing but poor designed junk back then..toyota must finally had the designers drug tested & fired them all thats why 2016 above all started looking better in design..
The 05 to 15 Tacoma is basically legendary in terms of being a useful awesome good looking truck. The newer Tacomas are very flashy to look nice parked at the mall. The fact you called the 15 Tacoma junk because it wasn't pretty enough tells us what you do with your truck.
@@GreenLittleRobot No it's just being honest about the design that toyota had kept for 10 whole years.. Absolutely horrible design on the tacomas that it literally looks like they had forgotten to round out the edges on the fender wells on the assemblyline..
@@BurtBowers Thats the thing. Tacoma is going more for looks in these newer models to fend out the competion such as: Ranger,Gladiator, Colorado, etc. Hard to compare the newer model to the previous generation because Tacoma basically had a monopoly for 10+ years in the mid size market.
