2021 Tacoma

Tacoma TRD Pro

Designed by the gurus at Toyota Racing Development (TRD), the 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro is outfitted with specially engineered parts and accessories so you can take on the world’s gnarliest terrain. It’s time to get out there and tackle your next big adventure.

3.5-liter V6 direct-injection engine

High tech meets high performance. Tacoma’s available Atkinson-cycle 3.5-liter V6 with direct injection is the perfect blend of efficiency and power, giving you more of everything you want.

Available 6-speed transmission

If rowing through the gears is more your style, Tacoma offers a 6-speed manual transmission, on certain models, to put control firmly in your hands.

6800-lb. towing capacity

Boats. Side-by-sides. Whatever toys you’ve got, Tacoma’s got the power to bring ’em along. The powerful 3.5-liter V6 and available Tow Package help this truck tow up to 6800 lbs. or carry a payload of up to 1440 lbs. So strap it down, hitch it up and roll out—your ultimate adventure starts here.

Trailer-sway Control

When you’re towing, sometimes the wind kicks up or a load shifts, causing the trailer to sway. Included with Tacoma’s available Tow Package, Trailer-Sway Control (TSC) applies brake pressure at individual wheels and manages engine torque to help maintain control of the trailer.

Electronically locking rear differential

Don’t let a patch of knee-deep sand give you the slip. Tacoma TRD Off-Road’s standard electronically controlled locking rear differential distributes engine power evenly to both rear wheels so they move at the same speed, providing more grip in low-traction conditions.

Crawl Control

When the trail gets challenging, Tacoma TRD Off-Road’s Crawl Control (CRAWL) is here to help you conquer your off-road adventure. This advanced system automatically modulates the throttle and brakes on five low-speed settings so you can keep your focus on navigating across difficult terrain.

Bilstein shocks

Available Bilstein shocks know how to keep their cool under pressure, delivering consistent performance when the going gets rough. Standard on TRD Off-Road, these shocks help soak up the impacts of the trail, thanks to high-performance components and valving tuned specifically for off-road driving.

Multi-Terrain Select

Tacoma TRD Off-Road features Multi-Terrain Select (MTS). With five modes to choose from, this system helps regulate wheelspin by automatically adjusting the engine throttle and traction control. When combined with standard Goodyear Wrangler tires with tough Kevlar construction, Multi-Terrain Select helps improve traction dramatically, meaning you can get back to the fun more quickly.

Hill Start Assist Control

Tacoma’s Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) helps you safely get up those hills. This technology helps minimize Tacoma from rolling backward when you move your foot from the brake to the gas pedal, so you can move upward with confidence. (HAC not available on TRD Off-Road 4WD M/T.)

Multi-Terrain Monitor

When the trail gets demanding, Tacoma’s available Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM) lets you check your immediate surroundings for potential obstacles. Simply press a button to display front-, rear- and side-camera views on the 8-in. navigation screen.

TRD Pro skid plate

A unique TRD Pro skid plate comes standard on Tacoma TRD Pro. Constructed from 1/4-in.-thick aluminum, this piece of armor helps protect crucial mechanical components underneath the front end, so you can even go beyond points on the map.

Aggressive front fascia

When you got it, flaunt it. Exclusive to Tacoma TRD Pro is a set of LED headlight housings that feature an integrated, light-up TRD Pro logo. And with its iconic heritage grille, this truck reminds everyone why Toyota is still king of the off-road.

Rigid Industries LED fog lights

Engineered by TRD, these intense LED fog lights pack a lot of brightness into a compact package. Aluminum housings feature the Rigid Industries logo, and rugged construction helps ensure that these lights can endure harsher environments. With their wide-angle beam pattern, these lights help ensure you have light when, and where, you need it.

TRD-tuned FOX Internal Bypass shocks

This is hard-core engineering. TRD-tuned FOX Internal Bypass shocks give you the ultimate in performance and control. Featuring 2.5-in. aluminum housings; hardened, oversize shock shafts; and remote reservoirs in the rear. These are designed to help provide more ground clearance, more travel, maximum damping and fade-free performance. In other words, this suspension helps smooth out the rough stuff.

16-in. TRD Pro wheels

Not just a pretty face, these 16-in. TRD black alloy wheels are constructed to provide an ideal balance of strength and weight savings. Each of these wheels comes wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain tires for optimal traction on- and off-road.

Multi-Information Display

The available 4.2-in. color Multi-Information Display (MID) can be customized to show info such as your Toyota Safety Sense features, current mpg, inclinometer, and available Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) settings.

Stay up-to-date with your vehicle’s information, such as status and alerts, maintenance reminders and more. It’s a convenient way

Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection

Using an in-vehicle camera and radar to help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, the Pre-Collision System¹⁰ with Pedestrian Detection¹¹ (PCS w/ PD) can help you mitigate or avoid a potential collision. If the system determines that a frontal collision is likely, it prompts you to take action using audio and visual alerts. If you notice the potential collision and apply the brakes, PCS w/ PD may apply additional brake force using Brake Assist (BA).¹² If you don’t brake in time, it may automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the likelihood of a frontal collision or reduce its severity.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

Intended for highway use and similar to “constant speed” cruise control, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)¹² lets yu drive at a preset speed. DRCC uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, which adjusts your speed, to help you maintain a preset distance from vehicles ahead of you that are driving at a slower speed. DRCC uses a front-grille-mounted radar and an in-vehicle camera designed to detect vehicles and their distance. If a driver is traveling slower than you, or within your preset range, DRCC will automatically slow your vehicle down without deactivating cruise control. If DRCC determines you need to slow down more, an audio and visual alert notifies you and brakes are applied. When there’s no longer a vehicle driving slower than your set speed in front of you, DRCC will then accelerate to the preset speed.

Lane Departure Alert with Sway Warning System

Under certain circumstances, Lane Departure Alert (LDA) with Sway Warning System (SWS)¹³ is designed to detect lane departure on roads with visible lane markings. LDA only activates when you’re traveling at a speed of 32 mph or faster. When you see and hear the alert, after carefully checking the road around you, you should safely direct your vehicle back to the center of your lane.

Automatic High Beams

Automatic High Beams (AHB)¹⁴ are a safety system designed to help you see more clearly at night-without distracting other drivers. Designed to activate at speeds above 25 mph, AHB rely on an in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggle between high and low beams according to provide the appropriate amount of light. By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.

Nightshade Special Edition

Cruise down the street in the new Nightshade Special Edition and show off Tacoma’s dark side. Blacked-out exterior trim, dark smoke 18-in. alloy wheels, exhaust tip and exclusive grille—all add a little more mystery to your adventures.

Embossed tailgate with grade-specific taillights

Let everyone behind you know who’s in charge. The tailgate features an embossed Tacoma logo that complements the rugged look.

Available LED headlights

Tacoma’s available LED headlights use LED elements for both the low and high beams, giving you bright, efficient light when you need it. And since they’re bolted to the front of Tacoma, you can bet that they look awesome too.

One formidable face

With its redesigned, aggressive grille and available smoked headlight and taillight housings, Tacoma remains the best-looking truck on the trail.

Trail Special Edition

Black badging, unique dark gray 16-in. TRD Off-Road wheels with Kevlar All-Terrain tires and lockable bed storage boxes highlight the adventurous spirit of Tacoma Trail Special Edition. The driver’s-side storage box even includes insulation to double as a cooler. And inside, Black seats with unique tan stitching are always ready to raise the bar on every drive.

Composite bed w/120V outlet

Don’t call it a bedliner. Tacoma’s bed is composed of an ultra-durable, fiber-reinforced Sheet-Molded Composite (SMC) surface. This rugged tech boasts a greater impact strength than steel and will help keep the bed of your Tacoma looking good for years to come. An available bed-mounted 120V/400W outlet helps keep the action powered up even when you’ve left civilization in your dust.

Deck rail system

When the desert calls, you want to bring your gear along for the ride. That’s why Tacoma’s bed comes standard with an innovative deck rail system. With four heavy-duty adjustable tie-down cleats, you’ve got the strength and adjustability you need to keep your cargo securely strapped down.

Smart storage

With various hidden, locking storage areas, Tacoma keeps your gear out of the way, out of sight and ready for your next outing.

ToyotaCare

Every new Toyota comes with ToyotaCare, a maintenance plan that covers normal factory scheduled maintenance for 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first, and 24-hour Roadside Assistance for 2 years, unlimited mileage.

Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

When Tacoma’s available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) detects a vehicle, it illuminates a warning indicator on the appropriate outside mirror to alert you to the presence of the vehicle, helping you to determine when it’s safe to change lanes. And when you slowly back out of a driveway or parking spot, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) provides an audible indicator to warn you of approaching vehicles.

Integrated backup camera with rear parking sonar

When backing up on a trail—or just backing out of your driveway—you need to see what’s behind you. The standard backup camera mounted in Tacoma’s tailgate handle helps you see an image of what the camera detects behind you on the available 7-in. high-resolution display.

Star Safety System

Every Tacoma comes standard with our Star Safety System, an advanced integration of safety technologies including Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology (SST).
