The long-awaited return of the Tacoma has finally arrived after a decade-long hiatus. From the humble SR model to the extravagant Trail Hunter and TRD Pro trims, Toyota has covered all bases. The SR, starting at $331,500, boasts a turbocharged 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, delivering a surprising 228hp and 243 ftlb of torque. The absence of the V6 is noticeable, but the new engine offers improved acceleration, making it a worthy contender in the midsize truck segment. The reintroduction of the pre-runner trim signals Toyota's commitment to catering to a diverse range of consumer preferences, from off-roading enthusiasts to overlanding aficionados.
In the realm of SUVs, the Land Cruiser makes a utilitarian comeback with a hybrid four-cylinder system and full-time four-wheel drive. The Trail Hunter trim elevates the off-road experience with features like a snorkel, hybrid motor, and coil springs in the rear. Meanwhile, the Desert Runner trim takes things up a notch with Fox Racing suspension, aluminum skid plates, and unique air ride seats. Despite encountering overheating transmission issues and a steep price tag, the Tacoma impresses with its hybrid 4-cylinder turbo engine, showcasing solid performance both on and off the road.
In true Toyota fashion, the Tacoma proves to be a versatile and customizable option, offering a range of trim levels to suit different preferences. From the rugged Trail Hunter to the adrenaline-pumping TRD Pro, each variant brings its own unique flair to the table. The hybrid engine technology shines through, providing a balance of power and efficiency that sets the Tacoma apart in its class. With its off-road capabilities, customizable features, and solid performance, the Tacoma cements its position as a formidable player in the competitive truck market, ready to take on any challenge that comes its way.
