Toyota Tacoma

Model years 2018–2027

The Toyota Tacoma is a midsize pickup truck nameplate from Toyota, designed for everyday driving, recreation and light-duty truck work. Across its model years, cab and bed choices, engines, drivetrains, payload, towing ratings and equipment can vary substantially. Shoppers should compare the exact year and trim because specifications, features, recalls, known problems and ownership costs can change over time.
