Powertrains: turbocharged i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX hybrid
Toyota offers two headline powertrains for the latest Tacoma: the turbocharged i-FORCE 2.4L (up to about 278 hp and 317 lb-ft) and the electrified i-FORCE MAX hybrid that boosts output to roughly 326 hp and a class-leading ~465 lb-ft of torque — the hybrid especially shines for low-end grunt while trailering or climbing steep approaches. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Towing and payload — know what your Tacoma can do
Properly equipped Tacomas offer serious towing for the class: many configurations reach tow ratings in the ~6,000–6,500 lb range (exact capacity depends on engine, cab/bed choice, drivetrain, and available tow packages), while some i-FORCE MAX configurations are rated to tow around 6,000 lbs. Always confirm the window sticker and tow prep on the specific vehicle you choose. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Off-road capability and trail-ready packages
If you want a truck that actually goes off the beaten path, the Tacoma's Trailhunter and TRD grades add factory-backed hardware like off-road suspension tuning, underbody protection, bigger tires, and trail assist systems — built to handle gravel county roads, forest overland routes, and rock sections outside Fairfield. The TRD Pro and Trailhunter also include convenience features like red front tow hooks and specialized dampers on certain trims. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Interior, tech, and towing convenience
The Tacoma pairs ruggedness with modern usability: touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, multiple USB ports, available 14-inch displays on higher trims, and driver aids from Toyota Safety Sense. Tow-friendly tech — trailer sway control, integrated trailer brake support, multi-angle cameras, and Trailer Backup Guide with Straight Path Assist — helps when hitching or reversing with a trailer. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
