2022 Toyota Tacoma in Smyrna, TN - $0

Rebuilt inside and out with an all-new powertrain and enhanced suspension tuning back in 2016, the Toyota Tacoma retains its throne on the mountaintop for dirt stomping adventurers. The Tacoma shares big brother Tundra’s more chiseled face, with a hex grille. From there, Tacoma expresses its own identity with a front end that portrays an aggressive attitude with its bold upper grille and a taller, more muscular hood. Slim high-tech headlights are mounted high above the redesigned front bumper and feature projection beam lamps with available LED Daytime Running Lights.

Available in Access and Double Cab configurations, short and long cargo box offerings and SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off Road, TRD Pro and Limited models; power for the Tacoma is generated by one of two powerful engines: a 2.7L four-cylinder and a 3.5L Atkinson cycle V6 with VVT-iW (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligent Wider Intake) and equipped with Toyota’s D-4S technology, featuring both direct and port fuel injection. Motorists have a choice of a six-speed manual gearbox or six-speed automatic transmission for both engines. Four-wheel drive is an available option for both engines.

Built tough, Toyota engineers started by adding high strength steel to the frame to help enhance rigidity and overall strength. Ultra-high strength steel was integrated into the body shell using a hot stamping process that reduces weight. To create a truck to meet the needs of active drivers on a variety of tamed and untamed surfaces, the suspension was fine-tuned to help deliver a smooth on-road ride, while making it even more capable off-road.

All Tacoma models are equipped with a coil-spring double wishbone front suspension and stabilizer bar combined with a leaf spring rear suspension with staggered outboard-mounted gas shocks. Brakes are power-assisted ventilated front disc and rear drum brakes with a tandem booster.

Inside the passenger cabin, Tacoma’s tough exterior is complemented by an interior that conveys a sport truck image reflecting an athletic, go anywhere, off-road feel. Drivers will notice a sporty design theme in the instrument panel for a driver-focused experience. Soft-wrapped trim and metallic accents set the stage for a high-quality look and feel that is a starting point for an array of available premium features.

All Tacoma models feature a four-way driver’s seat with lumbar support and four-way adjustable front passenger seats. The SR and SR5 grades are equipped with fabric-trimmed seats with a fun and youthful look. Seating for the TRD Sport and Off-Road grades are uniquely upholstered with embossed fabric that conveys a dynamic and rugged feel. The premium Limited grade features a rich, yet sporty leather.

Interior storage is maximized in Access Cab models with fold-up rear seats and under-seat storage. Double Cab models feature 60/40 split rear seats with adjustable headrests and under-seat storage.
