PERFORMANCE
Toyota Tacoma

With one look at the Tacoma, you know it’s up for any challenge, even the unfathomable. While its rugged looks do a lot of the talking, its powertrain, trail-tuned trims, and off-roading tools are the true heroes. You never know what nature will throw at you next; however, one thing is clear: The Tacoma will be well-prepared to tackle it.

May the i-FORCE Be With You

The Toyota Tacoma has two powertrains, one gas and one hybrid:

  • 2.4L turbocharged i-FORCE engine: 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque
  • Available 2.4L turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid engine: 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque

Whether you choose the gas or hybrid engine, the opportunity door is wide open! When properly equipped, these engines produce ample power to tow up to 6,500 pounds.

Rear-wheel drive comes standard, helping you handle the brunt of large hauls. Wild souls can opt for available 4WDemand, which is part-time or full-time. These drivetrains boost traction and grip, ensuring you can tackle whatever lies in your wake.

Ready for the Trails? The Tacoma Is

Where there’s a mountain, the Toyota Tacoma sees a molehill. The Tacoma TRD family, including the return of the TRD PreRunner, are the toys you want to bring to the sandbox. They have all you need to go over, around, or through obstacles. The Tacoma Trailhunter, a trim with a name as daunting as the terrain it can tackle, is for true nomads.

What do all these trim levels have in common? First, you’ll see their rugged designs, topped with armor like steel skid plates and bumpers. Next, their off-road toolboxes are on display, featuring items like the available Old Man Emu® suspension. If you frequent rocky trails, this suspension will be tough enough to avoid obstacles and carry all your overlanding essentials.

Available performance features like Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control help master the Tacoma’s talents and make tackling what nature throws at you easier.

EXTERIOR
Toyota Tacoma

The Toyota Tacoma is iconic. Point blank, period. The latest iteration of the Tacoma was reimagined to nod to its Baja racing heritage without suppressing its iconic Toyota design. The result? A pickup truck that embodies the spirit of outdoor adventure.

Designed Around You

The reimagined Toyota Tacoma features a new, sculpted physique that will have you asking, “Where doesn’t this truck have muscle definition?” Its available premium LED headlights also dazzle, blending form and function. When their optimized beam pattern combines with the available light bar, the Tacoma will deliver maximum visibility on backroads or trails.

Two cab configurations are available to meet your cargo- or people-carrying needs. Drivers who have more people to move will prefer the Double Cab option, which includes flip-up rear seats that reveal storage compartments underneath and behind the seatback.

The XtraCab configuration returns with the Tacoma’s latest edition. This 2-door cab has a 6-foot bed and innovative storage. The interior features floor storage, reinforced MOLLE panel side pockets, and a fold-flat passenger seat. It’s smaller in size and bigger in functionality!

Tailgate Triumphs

Are you in need of truck-bed utility? Pick the Tacoma’s 5-foot or 6-foot bed option to start! Both options are made of reinforced aluminum and have ultra-durable Sheet-Molded Composite surfaces that are resilient enough to carry your heavy textiles and gear. The Tacoma achieves a max payload of 1,705 pounds!

The following available tailgate amenities will help you during work and play:

  • Onboard air compressor
  • Exterior LED scene lighting
  • 2400-watt AC power supply

When your arms are full, look to the available power open-and-close tailgate. It opens with a key fob button or a switch on the taillight. If you’re carrying a large bundle of firewood to the pit, you can simply raise your knee and knock it against the tailgate door to activate the knee-lift assist feature!

TECHNOLOGY
Toyota Tacoma

Although you may like to rough it in the pines or spend as much time outdoors as possible, you still appreciate the finest technology. Your entertainment and safety are prioritized in the Toyota Tacoma! Take your seat behind the wheel to begin the tech tour.

Inside and Outside Entertainment

Your entertainment hub is an 8-inch or available 14-inch touchscreen that’s user-friendly and easy to navigate. It pairs with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so as soon as you boot up the Tacoma, your phone will pair! All you have to do is pick your poison and get rolling. Playlists, podcasts, and post-apocalyptic audiobooks will sound crisp through the available 10-speaker JBL® Premium Audio System.

If you want to bring the entertainment out to your campsite, there’s no need to leave the truck on and blast it through the windows. The Tacoma offers a removable JBL® FLEX portable Bluetooth® speaker! It’s waterproof and dust-proof. When you’re ready to get going again, click it back into its spot on the dashboard to recharge.

Protected and Prioritized

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 comes standard on every trim of the Toyota Tacoma. Toyota’s latest edition of their safety suite comes with several accident-prevention, lane-guidance, and driver-assistance features that will boost your confidence behind the wheel. Let’s meet the suite:

  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
  • Proactive Driving Assist
  • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
  • Road Sign Assist
  • Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
  • Automatic High Beams

When you're off the grid, several safety tools are available. The 3D Panoramic View Monitor and the 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor provide selectable front, side, and rear views of your vehicle and its surroundings, helping you find a way out of a rock and a hard place—literally.
