After debuting its fourth generation to widespread acclaim, the Toyota Tacoma is back for 2025, ready to extend its two-decade reign as America’s best-selling mid-size pickup. With new features, enhanced capabilities, and a design tailored for North America, the Tacoma promises to be the ultimate companion for adventurers and overlanding enthusiasts alike.
Power and Performance
Tacoma offers two robust powertrains to meet diverse needs. The standard i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged engine delivers up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with either an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed intelligent manual transmission (iMT). For those seeking maximum power, the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid produces 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, achieving an EPA-estimated 24 MPG combined.
Trail-Ready Features
The Trailhunter grade elevates Tacoma’s legendary off-road capability with features like Old Man Emu® 2.5-inch forged monotube shocks, 33-inch Goodyear® Rugged-Terrain tires, and a low-profile high-mount air intake. This grade also includes unique exterior elements like a heritage-inspired grille and RIGID Industries® LED fog lamps.
For desert runners, the TRD Pro offers exclusive IsoDynamic Performance Front Seats, TRD-Tuned FOX® Quick Switch 3 shocks, and a performance air intake. Both Trailhunter and TRD Pro include advanced suspension systems and underbody protection for rugged terrains.
Advanced Technology
Tacoma boasts cutting-edge tech like the available 14-inch touchscreen, Multi-Terrain Monitor, and next-gen CRAWL Control. Drivers can also benefit from the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM) for enhanced suspension articulation, making it easier to tackle challenging trails.
Towing and Utility
With a maximum towing capacity of 6,500 lbs. and a payload of up to 1,705 lbs., Tacoma is ready for heavy-duty tasks. Advanced towing features include Trailer Back Up Guide with Straight Path Assist, Blind Spot Monitor for trailers, and a Wireless Trailer Camera for enhanced visibility.
Versatile Configurations
The 2025 Tacoma comes in various grades, including SR, TRD Sport, Limited, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro. Buyers can choose between Double Cab or XtraCab configurations, with 5- or 6-foot bed options. XtraCab models focus on utility with lockable rear storage and fold-flat passenger seats for added functionality.
Built for Durability
Tacoma’s TNGA-F global truck platform enhances durability with high-strength steel, aluminum components, and a fully redesigned coil spring multi-link rear suspension. The chassis improvements ensure a smoother ride and improved handling, whether on or off-road.
