The Tacoma is powered by a 159-horsepower 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine with a six-speed automatic transmission. It’s also available with a manual transmission, so you can feel closer to your truck while you’re on the road. For a more powerful version, go for the available 278-horsepower 3.5-liter V6, which uses direct-injection technology to give you the best in both efficiency and power. With this engine and the available Tow Package, the Tacoma can tow up to 6,800 pounds. And while you’re towing, Trailer-Sway Control keeps your trailer safe and stable.
Where the Tacoma really shines is in its off-roading capabilities — especially its TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro trims. The former offers upgrades like an electronically locking rear differential, Crawl Control, and Multi-Terrain Select, all of which will help you traverse tricky terrain. Bilstein® shocks, specifically tuned for off-roading, are available as well.
The TRD Pro, meanwhile, features off-roading hardware like a suspension lift and an emblazoned TRD Pro skid plate to protect your undercarriage. Rigid Industries® LED fog lights will help you see the trail ahead when visibility is low, and TRD-tuned FOX® Internal Bypass shocks round out the package with a smoother ride, even on rough terrain.
The Tacoma’s exterior is ready to help you out on the go. The composite bed features an available 120-volt outlet that lets you charge all your tools or toys even when you’re far from home. The Tacoma also comes standard with a deck rail system that includes four heavy-duty tie-down cleats, so you can keep your gear secure. If you want to bring along some beverages, you can add an insulated storage compartment in the bed, too.
Inside the Tacoma, you’ll find a modern, comfortable cabin with all the amenities you’d expect out of a Toyota. The driver’s seat is power-adjustable in 10 different ways, including two-way lumbar support. Dual Zone Automatic Climate Control lets everyone ride at their preferred temperature, but when the weather’s nice, you can roll down the rear window for a bit of fresh air. And your passengers will appreciate the cabin’s USB ports that let them stay charged up on the road.
To keep you entertained and informed during your travels, the Tacoma offers you Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Amazon Alexa so you’ll have access to all of your favorite media. The truck also comes with a 3-month SiriusXM® Platinum trial subscription for even more tunes.
As the driver, you’ll appreciate the available Panoramic View Monitor that lets you see obstacles all around your truck. A Multi-Information Display in your instrument cluster lets you customize what vehicle information you see, including your miles per gallon and your current Multi-Terrain Select settings.
The 2022 Tacoma comes with a dizzying array of safety technology. Two safety suites comprise the bulk of its features — Toyota Safety Sense™ and Star Safety System™. The first comes with high-tech safety systems like a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, and automatic high beams.
Star Safety System™, meanwhile, includes Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, Brake Assist, Smart Stop Technology, and more. The Tacoma also comes standard with a backup camera, complete with rear parking sonar. For an extra bit of security, opt for the available Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.
