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.
The Toyota Tacoma has two powertrains, one gas and one hybrid:
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.
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.
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.
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!
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:
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!
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.
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.
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:
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.
The Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan Frontier are pioneers. They’ve paved the way for other light-duty pickup trucks, letting them realize their potential on and off the asphalt. When it comes to the wants and needs of the daily driver, the Toyota delivers more efficiency, torque, and driver assistance.

The Toyota Tacoma and the Chevy Colorado have one thing in common: They were reimagined in recent iterations. As for everything else, well, it’s a toe-to-toe comparison. These two pickups duke it out in power, utility, and safety; however, it’s the Toyota that pulls ahead again and again.

When the adventure itch needs to be scratched, drivers often seek out a Jeep vehicle like the Gladiator—until now. The Toyota Tacoma proves itself as an off-road warrior, coming with an all-terrain toolbox that parallels the Gladiator’s. However, when it comes down to power, safety, and technology, the Tacoma delivers tenfold.
