Multi-Terrain Select

Tacoma TRD Off-Road features Multi-terrain Select. 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.

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.

Bilstein Shocks

Available Bilstein⁵ 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-road⁶ driving.

TRD Pro Desert Air Intake

When you got it, flaunt it. Inspired by the iconic Toyota trucks of the past, this blackout heritage grille reminds everyone why Toyota is still king of the off-road.

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.

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.

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.

Available power-adjustable seat

Take comfort to new heights. Tacoma features a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat that includes 2-way lumbar support.

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.

Tough and refined interior

Tacoma is built to handle the demands of a hard-charging weekend. Its interior features soft-touch materials to boost your comfort. And Tacoma Limited adds leather-trimmed seating surfaces for the ultimate in tough sophistication.

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.

Power Rear Window

Let the outside in. Tacoma’s available power sliding rear window with privacy glass opens with just the touch of a button.

One formidable face

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

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.

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.

Star Safety System

Every Tacoma comes standard with our Star Safety System²¹ an advanced integration of safety technologies including Vehicle Stability Control (VSC),²² Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA)²³ and Smart Stop Technology (SST)²⁴

Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

When Tacoma’s available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)²⁵ 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)²⁶ provides an audible indicator to warn you of approaching vehicles.

ToyotaCare

Toyota is devoted to safety and dependability, and proper vehicle maintenance is important to both. That’s why we include a no cost maintenance plan²⁷ with the purchase or lease of every new Tacoma for 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. 24-hour roadside assistance is also included for 2 years and unlimited miles.²⁸

TPMS

Our advanced Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)²⁹ comes standard on every Tacoma. Designed to monitor tire pressure at all times, it alerts the driver when a tire or tires become underinflated. TRD and Limited grades feature an individual tire location report via the 4.2-in. MID. It’s one more way Tacoma gives you peace of mind wherever the rubber meets the road.
