The 2026 Toyota Tacoma: A Midsize Truck Combining Power, Capability, and Technology

There are many reasons why the 2026 Toyota Tacoma is among the best midsize trucks on the market. Its huge range of trims and awesome configurability hold huge appeal, and its powertrains are both robust and fuel-efficient—especially the available hybrid engine. Customers who enjoy off-roading will also love this truck’s TRD trims. See this model in action at Keyes Toyota.

Power and Performance

The exceptional configurability of the 2026 Toyota Tacoma is seen in its four available powertrains. First up is an i-FORCE® 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that comes in two tunes: one rated at 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and another that outputs 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque with a six-speed manual transmission.

Midrange versions of this new Toyota truck boast an upgraded i-FORCE engine rated at 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Top-line trims such as the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro equip the lineup’s most powerful engine: an i-FORCE MAX® 2.4-liter hybrid engine that achieves up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque while delivering terrific gas mileage.

Towing and Hauling

A properly equipped Toyota Tacoma can tow up to 6,500 lbs, and there are several available features to make towing easier and safer, including Trailer Backup Guide and Trailer Blind-Spot Monitoring. Meanwhile, this truck’s max payload of 1,710 lbs is the product of a strong, lightweight bed composed of an ultra-durable sheet-molded composite surface.

Infotainment

A convenient and modern infotainment system also awaits at our Van Nuys, CA, Toyota dealership. Entry-level trims come with amenities such as an 8-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone connectivity. If you choose a higher-end trim like the Toyota Tacoma Limited, you’ll get upgrades such as a 14-inch touchscreen, a 10-speaker JBL® sound system, and a 12.3-inch customizable digital gauge cluster.

Safety

Every 2026 Toyota Tacoma equips the Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 suite of advanced driver assistance systems. Its standard features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Centering. You can choose to add additional features as well, such as parking sensors and a 360-degree camera system.
