What the Critics Say
What’s New for 2026
Back for the third year of production for the latest generation of the Toyota Tacoma, this popular pickup only received minor updates after several minor tweaks just last year. All Tacoma SR XtraCab trim levels now come standard with a tow hitch. Blue Crush Metallic has been replaced by a new Heritage Blue shade. Similarly, Wave Maker debuts as an available color on TRD Pro models while Mudbath is now an option on TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, and TRD Off-Road models. Gloss black Toyota emblems have been added to those three previously mentioned trims as well. Finally, a new Premium package for TRD Off-Road i-FORCE models adds exclusive 18-inch TRD wheels along with 32-inch Goodyear AT tires.
Toyota Tacoma Features
Powerful Performance
From the standard fuel-efficient i-FORCE 2.4L Turbo Engine to the powerful i-FORCE MAX Hybrid engine — pickup shoppers will find plenty of performance potential in the Toyota Tacoma lineup. Every i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Tacoma comes standard with a 48-horsepower electric motor which gives this truck the ability to tow up to 6,500 pounds or carry a payload of up to 1,705 pounds. Giving you additional confidence when towing, available Trailer Back Up Guidance and Straight Path Assist features help simplify how you hitch up to your trailer. Hot-stamped, high-strength steel is used in the construction of the Tacoma to ensure maximized performance and safety. Ultra-durable, fiber-reinforced Sheet-Molded Composite (SCM) is used to form the bed of the Tacoma for added toughness and durability.
Off-Road Capability
On Tacoma TRD Off-Road models, a standard electronically controlled locking rear differential works by distributing power equally to both rear wheels in an effort to improve grip in low-traction situations. The optional Multi-terrain Select system offers five distinct modes to help mitigate wheelspin when things get slippery. Available Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) and Crawl Control (CRAWL) provide extra assistance to reach even the most remote destinations. Providing consistent performance when things get rough, optional Bilstein® shocks are the perfect solution. Craving the ultimate performance from your pickup? Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro models deliver unparalleled off-road abilities.
Ergonomic Interior
From a hard day at the job site to a relaxing weekend fishing trip, the interior of the Toyota Tacoma features an inviting space to get comfortable. Built for work or play, the driver-focused layout of the cabin offers a clean look with improved functionality. Adjust your temperature preferences using the front dual-zone climate control system. Letting you keep an eye on important drive information including fuel economy, individual tire pressures, and Pitch and Roll settings is an optional 4.2-inch Multi-Information Display (MID). Keeping the interior of the Tacoma pleasantly quiet is a specialized cab-to-bed seal. Additional premium features available inside the Tacoma include a power moonroof along with leather-trimmed seating surfaces. All Tacoma models come standard with the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia system featuring Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility to access your favorite apps and media. A massive 14-inch touchscreen display is also available to help you get the most out of your daily commute.
Innovative Utility Features
Keep all of your devices and equipment powered-up with a standard 2400W onboard AC inverter which is integrated into the bed of the Toyota Tacoma. An innovative standard deck rail system features four adjustable tie-down cleats inside the bed is the perfect solution to keeping your gear secure. Another dedicated storage compartment adds even more room to carry items such as your tools. The Tacoma also comes standard with an easy-lower tailgate which can be locked for greater security and is also easily removable if desired. An available bed-mounted storage box doubles as a cooler thanks to insulation and a useful drain plug. There’s even an available bed-mounted air compressor, perfect for airing your tires back up after a long day on the trails. Available pre-wired auxiliary switches inside the cabin on the dashboard make it simple to add your favorite Genuine Toyota Accessories to your Toyota Tacoma.
