2020 Toyota Tacoma review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2020 Toyota Tacoma?

The Toyota Tacoma is a mid-size pickup truck that offers a choice of two cabs and can seat up to five. A 159-horsepower, 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine is standard, while a 278-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 is available. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, and the V-6 can also work with a six-speed manual. Rivals include the Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado and Nissan Frontier.

What’s New on the 2020 Toyota Tacoma?

A 7-inch touchscreen multimedia system is standard, and an 8-inch touchscreen is optional. The Tacoma now has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, while minor exterior styling changes include new grille designs and updated taillights. A 360-degree camera system and terrain monitor are available.

What Features in the 2020 Toyota Tacoma Are Most Important?

The TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro models are designed to venture off the beaten path with features like an off-road suspension, a locking rear differential and Crawl Control. The Tacoma’s maximum towing capacity, meanwhile, is 6,800 pounds when properly equipped. Standard active safety features include automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and automatic high-beam headlights.

Should I Buy the 2020 Toyota Tacoma?

The Tacoma’s base four-cylinder engine helps keep the price low, but the V-6 delivers better performance without a significant gas mileage penalty. However, limited headroom and a small backseat are downsides.

Transmission

Test drove at a local dealership. Still thinking about buying the truck, Toyotas are very reliable. But the transmission is terrible. Jerky. Scares me. I may look into a different year.

Great pickup

August 3, 2023

By Mark from Beaumont from Beaumont Texas

I have driven Toyota’s most of my adult life. I cannot say anything bad about them. They are wonderful cars, and that has been my experience. I know a reputable owner of a used car dealership and he said that at my age (68), if I buy a Toyota pickup they will drive my family to my funeral in it. He said that it will outlast me, and I believe him! I just bought the Tacoma, and it runs great, but it only had 13,000 miles on it! They all run good when they’re new, but judging from past experience, it will be great also.
