Your Inside Look at the 2026 Toyota Tacoma

Performance

The new Tacoma balances the competing demands of smooth ride delivery and powerful performance capabilities with finesse. You can go almost anywhere and haul practically anything thanks to the Tacoma's standard 4‑cyl, turbocharged gasoline engine. When properly configured, it delivers a maximum towing capacity of up to 6,500 lbs.. With additional suspension upgrades and tighter handling behind the wheel, you're in for a seriously smooth ride. Some other standout performance features on this model are:

• • Multi-Terrain Select (MTS), Crawl Control (CRAWL) and Downhill Assist Control (DAC)
• • Torque: 243 lb-ft @ 1600 rpm
• • i-FORCE 2.4L 4-Cyl. Turbo Engine

Technology

Modern trucks like the Tacoma are engineered with smart technology to keep you safe, connected, and entertained — in that order. There are also new safety innovations from Toyota that will assist you wherever you are on the road. Meanwhile, passengers can spend their time listening to music, podcasts, and radio stations, or by staying connected through their phones, with the available infotainment system. The Tacoma isn't limited to the above technology features, though. Here are a few more:

• • Backup Guide Monitor
• • Electric Power Steering (EPS) and power-assisted rack-and-pinion with an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)
• • BLane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA)

Design

A new truck should make a statement from the moment you lay eyes on it, and that's exactly what the new Tacoma does. With 45.5 cu ft of cargo space, you can take on new projects and make fewer trips to and from the store. A truck like this inspires us to take as many long car rides as we can. Some other design features for this model you might be interested in include:

• • Deck rail system with four adjustable tie-down cleats and fixed cargo bed tie-down points
• • Smart Key System on driver door with Push Button Start
