Expert Snapshot

New or Notable

•Three cab styles
•Four-cylinder or V-6
•Exterior and interior styling revisions
•Available Entune multimedia system
•T|X and T|X Pro off-road packages
 

What We Like

•Extensive standard equipment, especially safety features
•Spirited off-road capabilities
•Road-hugging performance of X-Runner
•Strong tow ratings for V-6
•Dealer-installed TRD supercharger and big-brake kits

What We Don't

•Stronger 4.0-liter V-6 found in Tundra and 4Runner isn't available for Tacoma
•No pull-lever parking brake (helps in off-roading)
•Great off-road suspension can be rough on uneven pavement
•Long-box Tacoma crew cab almost as big as a full-size pickup

The Toyota Tacoma midsize pickup truck is available in three cab styles: regular cab, Access Cab and Double Cab. Regular and Access cabs come with 6-foot beds, while the Double Cab can be had with either a 5- or 6-foot bed. The Tacoma can seat up to five people in certain configurations.  Competitors include the Chevrolet Colorado and Nissan Frontier.
