New Toyota RAV4 given the official TRD off-road treatment!
When we compared midsize trucks recently, the Toyota Tacoma came up short. Having been thoroughly redesigned for the 2016 model year, the 2020 Tacoma enjoys slightly different styling up front and a bevy of tech/comfort improvements.
Red Deer area January unemployment rate lowest in Alberta
He credited recent job gains drawing people back in as for why the participation rate is running at its highest level since 2017. In the Edmonton census metropolitan area, the unemployment rate rose from 6.3 per cent in December to 6.4 per cent in January.
All six Tacoma grades get either a new grille, new wheels, or both, at a minimum. It's a minor change, but perhaps they're working off the old mantra, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
2018 fourth hottest year on record
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is reporting that 2018 was the fourth warmest year on record since 1880. Due to the dynamic character of global weather patterns, not every place of the Earth experiences the same levels of warming.
While its sales figures and enthusiasm from owners show that the Tacoma was doing fine as is, there's no doubt all of these upgrades will be welcomed by potential buyers in an increasingly competitive segment. In fact, all Tacoma trims get the new eight-inch display, complete with better graphics, and for the first time, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa connectivity. SR5-and-up trims will get 8-inch screens over the standard 7-inch. The Sequoia TRD Pro also gets LED headlights, LED fog lights, and 18-inch BBS wheels in black. Newly available Army Green is the TRD Pro exclusive color for 2020, which will be offered along with Super White, Midnight Black Metallic and Magnetic Gray Metallic. The 16-inch wheels are brand new, and the black inserts in the taillights top off the aggressive look. The springs and shocks have also been tuned. It probably won't mean much out on the trail, but it's always good to see improvement. The RAV4 Off-Road will offer all of the same standard driver-assistance features that are on lesser models when it goes on sale, which include automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beams, and traffic-sign recognition. Models from the SR to the TRD Off-Road are available in two body styles, extended cab (Access Cab) or Double Cab.
