High Engine Output for Any Job

Under the hood of the Tacoma, you’ll find the i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 engine, which produces 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. You’ll enjoy optimal performance thanks to sophisticated thermal management, precise wastegate control, and an air-cooled intercooler for sustained power.

The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission featuring smart uphill/downhill shift logic. This system holds lower gears on hills for power and downshifts on descents for better braking and control.

It comes with Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and an automatic limited-slip differential (Auto LSD). The Auto LSD uses brakes to send power to the wheel with more grip, boosting efficiency and capability.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0

The newest Tacoma is equipped with an impressive standard safety package, thanks to Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. This suite includes:

• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Auto High Beams
• Road Sign Recognition
• Proactive Driving Assist
• Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Departure Alert Function with Steering Assist.

Double-Wishbone Suspension

The Tacoma’s double-wishbone front suspension ensures a balanced ride with smooth handling and steering, while the leaf-spring rear suspension adds stability when towing or hauling, boosting road confidence.

The result is a truck that can easily tow heavy loads or tackle any terrain.

Smart Key System

With the Smart Key system, entering and exiting your Tacoma is more convenient than ever. This keyless entry system allows you to lock and unlock your truck with your key fob securely stowed in your pocket, bag, or purse. As long as you’re within three feet of your truck, you can lock and unlock your Tacoma.

Once you’re inside, starting the engine is just as easy. The Tacoma features a simple push-button start mechanism. With the key fob still in the vehicle, just press the start button to crank it up.

Remote Vehicle Commands

The newest Tacoma includes a free one-year trial of Remote Connect services, which you can access through the Toyota app on your smartphone. This allows you to do the following from any location:

• Lock and unlock the doors
• Start and stop the engine
• Monitor driving
• Locate your truck

Large Multimedia Display

The Tacoma’s connectivity services are centered around a standard 8-inch multimedia touchscreen, with a larger 14-inch display available in higher-end trims. Wireless connectivity makes it easy to make calls, send/receive messages, and perform other phone functions hands-free. You’ll be able to keep tabs on detailed vehicle data with the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.

Backup Guide Monitor for Precise Towing

The standard backup guide monitor makes reversing your Tacoma safe and easy. This system uses a rear-facing camera to project a view of what is behind your truck onto your dashboard display. Digital guidelines are overlaid on the display to help you back up accurately and avoid obstacles.
