Performance
Drivers can choose from two optional engines when purchasing this exciting midsize pickup truck. On the SR trim, you’ll find the optional i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder feature that puts out 228 horsepower and 243 lb.-ft. of torque. The SR5 trim and others utilize the same engine, but its output is raised to 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. The other selection is the i-FORCE MAX 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder hybrid unit with a total output of 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. Using this model for towing a boat to Santa Barbara Harbor is certainly within the model’s capabilities due to its 6,500-lb. maximum towing capacity¹. It also makes use of its design for its 1,700-lb. maximum payload rating², so you can feel free to load the bed.
Exterior
The 2026 Toyota Tacoma features two options for the bed behind the cab, coming in either five feet or six feet in length. At its narrowest, the bed is 44.7 inches wide, so you can reliably take large items around the city for your work or leisure. The optional lightweight tailgate with a damper slows³ the descent of that feature when you open it, giving you one less worry to consider when stocking the bed. This model also comes with a standard deck rail system with four adjustable tie-down cleats and fixed cargo bed tie-down points, providing many options for securing your payload and the confidence you need to travel with large, heavy items in place. At the same time, the standard 10.5-inch ground clearance is enough to roll over off-road obstacles when the call to adventure pulls you off the beaten path. 
Technology
An available 14.0-inch multimedia touchscreen display is your key to the abundant tech toolkit wielded by this midsize pickup truck. Using that, you can chart a path ahead through the Cloud Navigation system⁴ to find the right parking lot at Santa Barbara City College or go to a plot of land that will be your next worksite. At the same time, the available 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster will be there to show you your speed, RPMs, gear, and the level of remaining fuel in your vehicle. Don’t overlook the standard dual USB-C ports⁵ in the cab, waiting to restore the battery life to your phone or tablet, keeping you connected to your family and customers alike. Come see this powerful pickup truck in action by coming to our dealership location near Santa Barbara!
