Value-Packed Trims at Every Level

The Tacoma lineup offers several trims and layouts with a price range between $33,000 and $54,000. All models except the base model come with the high-powered four-cylinder that makes 278 horsepower. However, even the base engine is no slouch. In most models, you can choose between RWD or 4WD, though some have standard 4WD, such as the off-road-focused TRD Off-Road model. You can also choose between bed sizes and cab layouts on most trims. On most models over the base trim, you'll also enjoy extras like fog lights, push-button start, and aluminum wheels. The Toyota Tacoma is now available in a hybrid setup as well.

Modern Cabin Exudes Comfort

The latest Toyota Tacoma near Nicholasville, KY, features a redesigned cabin with a more modern feel. The seats are now higher for improved driver comfort, and there's more headroom for better comfort all around. The touchscreens deliver higher resolution, making them easier to use. All Tacoma trims include standard wireless Apple/Android integration. Some options for the cabin include a wireless charging pad, heated and cooled seats, and a JBL audio system. Higher trims have more standard niceties.

Off-Road Icon

Off-road enthusiasts know the Toyota Tacoma as one of the best trucks for tackling the trails. The latest Tacoma keeps up this tradition with plenty of strong upgrades. All models feature body-on-frame construction for superior durability, but now most of the models also have coil spring suspensions for increased comfort and stability. You'll only find the older leaf spring setup on the SR5, SR5 with the extended cab, and the TRD PreRunner. Off-road models add items like underbody skid plates, reinforced bumpers, upgraded shocks, and more.

Towing and Hauling with the Tacoma

Can the Toyota Tacoma tow and haul? Absolutely. No matter which Tacoma you get, the truck's towing and hauling ability is very competitive. For example, the regular gas Tacoma models can tow up to 6,500 pounds, while the hybrid setup can tow up to 6,000 pounds. For hauling, the hybrid Tacoma does a little better with 1,710 pounds vs. the 1,690 max payload of the Tacoma with a standard gas engine. Either way, both are capable of towing a decent-sized camper or boat.
