The 2026 Toyota Tacoma continues its heritage as America’s best-selling midsize pickup, now offering two powerful engine options to meet diverse driver preferences. The standard i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged engine generates up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque, delivering impressive acceleration and an EPA-estimated 26 MPG highway rating.
For those seeking even more muscle, the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain boasts an outstanding 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque with a combined EPA-estimated 23 MPG, ensuring that both efficiency and brute strength are well within reach.

Tacoma’s legendary reputation for off-road mastery reaches new heights with the TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims, both equipped with premium enhancements such as FOX® adjustable shocks, IsoDynamic Performance Front Seats, RIGID Industries® LED fog lamps, and rugged 33-inch Goodyear® tires on 18-inch alloy wheels. All models benefit from advanced suspension tuning, high-strength steel chassis, and standard underbody protection. Trailhunter introduces Old Man Emu® forged monotube shocks, further optimizing overland journey readiness. The 2026 Tacoma’s towing capacity peaks at an impressive 6,500 pounds with a payload rating of up to 1,705 pounds, augmented by trailer backup assist, digital rearview mirrors, and a new wireless trailer camera system for enhanced confidence on the road.
