Chicago Area Drivers + Toyota Trucks = Pure Satisfaction
Chicago area drivers can't live without their Toyota trucks, especially near Elgin, Schaumburg, and St. Charles. Why? They're filled with powerful energy, capable of handling all your tough jobs, and most of all, they're a blast to drive. The 2016 Tacoma and 2016 Tundra are supremely capable vehicles that offer you a smaller, lighter weight choice or a heavy duty option. Either one could be the ideal pickup truck for you. Read on to find out more about all the exciting features on these two great Toyota trucks:
All the Power You Need

Both the Tacoma and the Tundra have reliable, hardcore power under the hood combined with physical strength on the outside, so you can get the job done. The Tacoma is your lighter weight option, and the 2016 model is constructed with new high-strength steel that's stronger and lighter than traditional steel. It comes with a standard 2.7L four-cylinder engine or an available 3.5L V6 direct-injection with substantial power, 278 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque at 4600 rpm. The larger, heavier Tundra can handle pretty much anything that comes its way. The Tundra comes with either a standard 4.6L V8 engine or an awesome 5.7L V8 engine that screams with force, 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque. Both of these pickups can work and play with the best of them.
Aggressive Design

One look at these trucks and you know they've got your back. The 2016 Tacoma has been redesigned to show off its athletic presence, with newly contoured fenders and an aggressive grille. The 2016 Tundra also features a massive personality with its bold grille and Tundra stamp on the tailgate. Both of these awesome trucks have available LED Daytime Running Lights and standard projector-beam headlights, which help give you more control and feel secure about what lies ahead. Toyota also offers optional packages, so you can add a unique flavor to your truck-badging, bed stamps, enhanced tires, and other accents. You also get a wide selection of paint choices, from more traditional neutrals to bright, striking colors like Blazing Blue Pearl and Radiant Red.
Valuable Technology

The Tacoma and the Tundra are filled with all sorts of useful technology. Everything from Bluetooth connectivity, CD and MP3 entertainment systems with auxiliary input jacks, keyless entry, to an onboard computer comes standard. Other options like premium audio, navigation, and parking distance sensors are there for you, too. Toyota's Entune™ Premium Audio with Integrated Navigation and App Suite makes all of your data safely and instantly accessible to you, hands-free, so you can get things done. These are trucks that truly make your life easier.
Toyota's Truck Lineup

- Action and adventure await you! The Tacoma is the perfect midsize truck for weekend warriors. With fuel efficiency of an estimated 19 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway, you're not going to break the bank on gas. The Tacoma has space and power for hauling and towing all your favorite toys like dirt bikes and ATVs. When tricked out with the 3.5L V6 and the available Tow Package, it can tow up to 6,800 pounds or carry a payload of up to 1,440 pounds. And, the easy lower tailgate makes it easy to load and unload long or awkward things. The Tacoma is available in five stunning models, each with trim options for crew size, manual transmission, and Two-Wheel Drive or Four-Wheel Drive:
- SR
- SR5
- TRD Sport
- TRD Off-Road

- Get ready to sweat! The Tundra is a hefty beast truly built to do it all. We've talked about its engine power, and as for fuel efficiency, it comes in at an estimated 15 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway and boasts the largest fuel tank in its class-38 gallons. We're not kidding when we say that the Tundra is a workhorse. It has herculean features like staggered, outboard-mounted shocks and a heavy-duty TripleTech frame. The trailer hitch incorporates 12 high-strength bolts right into the frame, and between that and the i-FORCE 5.7L V8 engine, it can tow over 10,000 pounds. Plus, the TOW/HAUL Mode that comes with the 5.7L V8 engine intelligently holds the lower gears longer, so the truck won't keep trying to shift to the right gear when towing. The Tacoma comes in six models with a huge number of trim options available for engine choice, crew size, manual transmission, Two-Wheel Drive or Four-Wheel Drive, and other features:
