When towing power, smart features, and long-term reliability matter, the Toyota Tacoma delivers. Whether you're hauling tools for the job site or towing recreational gear for a weekend getaway, this midsize Toyota model offers the perfect blend of performance and practicality. At 1000 Islands Toyota, we offer a wide selection of Toyota new cars and Toyota used cars, and the Tacoma remains one of the most capable trucks in our lineup.
Under the hood, the Tacoma offers two proven engine choices. The base 2.7-litre 4-cylinder delivers 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, ideal for light-duty towing and maximizing fuel economy. For those with greater demands, the available 3.5-litre V6 cranks out 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, offering the strength needed for heavier trailers and equipment. Choose between a six-speed automatic for smooth shifting or a six-speed manual for hands-on control. Both engines are built for durability and backed by Toyota’s engineering excellence.
With a maximum towing capacity of up to 6,800 pounds when properly equipped, the V6 Tacoma rivals many full-size trucks in capability. Even the 4-cylinder can handle up to 3,500 pounds, perfect for smaller trailers and campers. Beyond raw power, the Tacoma includes essential features like Trailer-Sway Control, which applies brake pressure to individual wheels to help stabilize your load in tough driving conditions. Its reinforced frame and advanced suspension ensure confident handling even under stress, making it a trusted companion for any haul.
The Tacoma’s suite of towing tech enhances safety and control. An integrated trailer brake controller lets you manage trailer braking from the driver’s seat, while Multi-Terrain Select adjusts performance for gravel, sand, mud, or rock. Additional highlights include a rearview camera with trailer hitch view and available Panoramic View Monitor, simplifying hitching and improving visibility. Hill Start Assist Control gives you peace of mind when towing uphill by preventing rollback. These thoughtful features give Tacoma drivers an edge when towing in any environment.
Strength is built into every inch of the Tacoma. Its high-strength steel frame offers excellent structural integrity under load, while its composite bed resists dents, rust, and wear better than traditional steel. The addition of a 120V outlet and deck rail system enhances utility, making it ideal for both work and recreation. Backed by Toyota’s longstanding reputation for reliability, the Tacoma consistently ranks high for resale value and long-term ownership satisfaction. For drivers who count on their truck every day, that peace of mind is invaluable.
