2023 Toyota Tacoma

The Toyota Tacoma is the best-selling truck in its segment for a reason. Foremost, it enjoys a long-standing reputation for durability and go-anywhere capability. But it's also smooth, efficient and easy to get along with on the road.

The Toyota Tacoma is a midsize pickup truck offered in six trim levels: SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited and TRD Pro. The SR and SR5 come standard with a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine producing 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque.

SR

• The SR is the work truck of the bunch and kicks things off with:
• 16-inch steel wheels
• Sliding rear window
• Power-adjustable and heated side mirrors
• Tough composite bed that needs no bedliner
• Movable bed cleats
• Locking/unlocking vehicle remote (V6 only; can be added to four-cylinder models via Convenience package)
• Dual-zone automatic climate control (V6 only)
• 7-inch touchscreen
• Six-speaker audio system
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Satellite radio
• Three USB ports
• Wi-Fi hotspot

The base Tacoma also comes with a suite of driving aids that include:

• Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
• Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
• Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Toyota and the car in front)

SR5

• The SR5 will be a little more palatable for most non-commercial buyers. Among its upgrades are:

The TRD Sport is the mildest of the off-road Tacomas. Because it's powered by the V6, all non-optional features listed above designated "V6 only" are standard here. On top of the SR5 features, it adds:
