If you weren’t happy with last year’s Tacoma options, you aren’t likely to be swayed by this year’s model. The good news? Our [review of the 2025 Tacoma]() found it to be “genuinely enjoyable to drive, highly capable off-road and finished with thoughtful touches,” so big changes weren’t necessary. With that in mind, let’s look at what’s new. ## Black Logo ![image 3]() The Toyota Tacoma Off-Road gets the black front logo treatment (Photo courtesy of Toyota) This year’s TRD Off-Road, TRD Sport, and TRD Pre-Runner trims will include a front logo in black — always fashionable and goes with everything! ## New Colors ![image 4]() Heritage Blue is the new color, available on most models Heritage Blue is the new color, available on most models (Photo courtesy of Toyota) A pair of new color options are available, one across the line-up, and one exclusive to this year’s TRD Pro. Most Tacomas in 2026 will offer Heritage Blue as an option. This year’s exclusive TRD Pro color is provocatively (and perhaps confusingly) titled Wave Runner — TRD Pros in that color will be available starting in March 2026. ## Tacoma SR XtraCab Gets Hitched; Off-Road Gets Tire Options. ![image 5]() Toyota Tacoma SR (Photo courtesy of Toyota) A towing hitch is now standard on all 2026 Toyota Tacoma SR XtraCab, so if that’s the model you had your eye on, you’ll get a little added versatility built in! If you were looking at the Tacoma TRD Off-Road model, you can get some sweet 32″ Goodyear All-Terrain tires on TRD 18″ wheels as part of the i-Force Premium Package. ## In Conclusion ![image 6]() The Toyota Tacoma is still at the top of its game in 2026 (Photo courtesy of Toyota) When you’ve got the best-selling midsize pickup on the market, you don’t need to make big swings to stay on top. Heck, these barely qualify as small adjustments, but the Tacoma line remains atop the field, so clearly few, if any, adjustments were necessary. The [2026 Tacoma]() should be in Toyota dealerships this now, with a starting MSRP starting of $32,145. ## Related vehicle coverage - [2026 Toyota Tacoma]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ {
