What You Need to Know About the 2025 Toyota Tacoma
Performance and Towing
Featuring an i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 engine, the Toyota Tacoma is capable of generating up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, making it quite the workhorse. With an 8-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, this engine combination is also highly efficient, measuring in at an EPA-estimated 19 MPG city, 24 MPG highway, and 21 MPG combined fuel economy.
The Tacoma has impressive towing and hauling capabilities as well. With a maximum towing weight of 6,500 lbs and a maximum payload of 1,230 lbs, it can handle any job, any time, while 4-wheel drive ensures it can do so in multiple terrains.
Exterior Design
The outside of the Tacoma is bold and stylish. 17-inch styled alloy wheels, a 6-ft bed, and a lightweight TACOMA-stamped tailgate give it an unmistakable look, while LED fog lights, LED headlights, daytime running lights, and LED bed lighting help to light the way on any dark road regardless of the weather conditions. A deck rail system with four adjustable tie-down cleats is also included and comes with fixed cargo bed tie-down points.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Tacoma’s cabin is modern, comfortable, and practical. Fabric-trimmed seats allow for up to two passengers, with heated front seats an available option. Those looking for a heated steering wheel will be glad to know it is available on the base and TRD Off-Road trims, and standard on the TRD Pro trim. Finally, automatic climate control is an option on the base SR5 trim, but included on the TRD Off-Road trim.
Connectivity and Technology
An 8-inch infotainment multimedia touchscreen comes standard, as well as a 4-speaker audio system with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Toyota includes a 1-year trial subscription to Remote Connect, which allows you to connect to your vehicle remotely using the Toyota app on your smartwatch. Up to a 10-year trial subscription to Safety Connect and Service Connect are also included for your well-being and convenience.
Safety and Driver Assistance Features
A backup guide monitor and blind spot monitor are included on the base trim, while front and rear parking assist are available as optional add-ons. An integrated trailer brake controller is also available, while a Class-IV towing hitch receiver and wiring harness are included for your safety.
