Capability of the 2023 Toyota Tacoma

The first thing we need to talk to you about is what is under the hood of the Tacoma! On the first couple of trims, the Tacoma comes standard with a 2.7-liter four-cylinder that delivers a stark 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. Optional is a 3.5-liter V6 which delivers a spectacular 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, which you can get standard on higher trims of the Tacoma. Both of these engine pair with a six-speed automatic transmission, but a manual transmission is available if you prefer that instead. Towing is what the Tacoma is made for, as it can haul up to 6,800 pounds!

The trail is always ready for the Tacoma, with several available systems that allow the massive truck to tackle any terrain. We start with crawl control which is standard on the Tacoma TRD and will conquer any off-road adventure. This unique and advanced system will automatically modulate the throttle and brakes via five low-speed settings. That way, you can focus on navigating through all kinds of terrain. Next, if you find yourself in a patch of knee-deep sand, the Electronically Locking Rear Differential will send engine power to both rear wheels to move at the same speed, giving you more grip in conditions with low traction. Also standard are Bilstein Shocks which will keep you cool under pressure and give you a consistent performance by soaking up the impacts of the trail. It does this with its high-performance components and valves tuned for off-roading. 

If you are venturing far into the wilderness, then the Multi-Terrain Select has your back with five available modes to choose from that will help regulate the wheelspin by automatically adjusting the engine traction control and throttle. Combining this system with the Tacoma's spectacular tires will help improve your traction dramatically! Also standard is the Hill Start Assist Control, which will ease you up hills. In addition, it prevents the Tacoma from rolling backward when you switch from the brakes to the gas so that you can confidently move ahead! Finally, when the trail gets tough, there is the available Multi-Terrain Monitor to check your surroundings for obstacles. All you need to do is press a button to provide several different camera views on the 8-inch touchscreen!

Now that we have discussed how you can go off-road with the Tacoma, let's talk about the power of the truck bed! If you are in for a long day of adventuring, check out the Tacoma Trail Edition, which has an insulated bed storage that will keep your items chilled so you can take them anywhere. Also, no matter what bed length you choose, the bed of your Tacoma has an ultra-durable, fiber-reinforced Sheet-Molded Composite surface which is solid and durable and is sure to last you for years to come! If you feel the call of the desert, you will want to bring your gear along for the ride! That's why every Tacoma bed has a standard deck rail system and four heavy-duty tie-down cleats, so your stuff will go nowhere. We must also mention the available bed-mounted 120V/400W outlet that will keep you connected no matter where you are.
