Is the Toyota Tacoma a Good Pickup Truck?

If you’re looking for a truck that can do it all – from hauling and towing during the week to weekend off-roading – the Toyota Tacoma might just be the perfect truck for you. Its five trims let you dial in your perfect balance of comfort, style, strength, and off-roading fun, so you’re certain to find the right Tacoma for you.

All the Tacomas available from Waldorf Toyota are capable work trucks in their own rights. But what makes them so great? Read more to find out!

Two Engines, Manual Transmission Option, and More

There are two engines to choose from with the Toyota Tacoma: the base four-cylinder model, which has plenty of get-up-and-go to get you started, or the more powerful, 3.5L V6, which gives even more power to tow and haul. In fact, with the available Tow Package, the Tacoma has a maximum towing capacity of 6,800 pounds, more than enough for weekend adventures. Plus, with Trailer-Sway Control included in the Tow Package, your Toyota truck helps you maintain control by applying brake pressure at individual wheels and managing engine torque automatically.

While modern automatic transmissions are marvels of engineering, sometimes you want the direct connection to the road or trail a manual transmission provides. That’s why Tacoma features an available 6-speed manual transmission on select trims, which puts control directly in your hands when on the trail or tougher terrain.

Tacoma TRD Is the Ultimate Off-Roading Machine

If you’re an off-roading fiend, the Toyota Tacoma TRD is your ideal truck. It’s got a number of features that mean it’s ready for any terrain you decide to throw at it, from mountains and rocks to dirt, mud, and even rivers.

The TRD is able to handle all that roughage due to a few different features:

• An electronically-controlled locking rear differential distributes engine power to both rear wheels to ensure they move at the same speed, which provides more grip in low traction
• The Tacoma TRD Off-Road’s Crawl Control automatically modulates the throttle and brakes on five low-speed settings so you can focus on navigating, not shifting and goosing the gas
• Available Bilstein® shocks are specially tuned to off-road driving, keeping your ride smooth even on the roughest terrain
• Available Multi-Terrain Monitor can help you see all around your truck for obstacles, as well as check your current pitch and yaw
• and so much more!

Getting Out to the Trail is Even Easier in the Toyota Tacoma

With the Tacoma Trail Special Edition, you won’t be able to wait to hit the trail every weekend. Its innovative deck rail system has four heavy-duty adjustable tie-down cleats that’ll keep your cargo secure, and when you get there, the 120V outlet on the bed can power the things you need even when you’re out in the bush.

Plus, with Tacoma’s hidden, locking storage areas, like available insulated bed storage and various stowaways in the cab of the truck, you can stash everything you’ll need for your next fishing, camping, mountain biking, or birdwatching adventure.
