For those seeking added muscle, the available 3.5-liter V6 engine delivers an impressive 278 horsepower, ensuring swift acceleration and enhanced towing capacities. Both engines are paired with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission, and a six-speed manual transmission is also offered for more hands-on driving enthusiasts.

Customers can choose between extended cab and crew cab configurations, with bed lengths that cater to various hauling demands.

Features

Inside, the Tacoma comes equipped with a suite of modern technology and convenience features. Standard across most trims are a touchscreen infotainment system, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility for seamless smartphone integration.
