Towing Opportunities

The Toyota Tacoma comes with two engine options: the 2.7L DOHC and the 3.5L V6. Here’s what you can look forward to in terms of power from each engine:

Fortunately, these two engines keep up with one another with their towing capacity, so your final decision really depends on how much power you prefer. The 3.5L engine will give you the highest amount of horsepower and torque.

However, if you want the maximum towing capacity this model has to offer, you can tack on the available Tow Package. When properly equipped, you can tow up to 6,800 pounds of equipment and attachments.

With this amount of towing power, you can haul:

• Three 1,800-pound U-Haul trailers
• Five 1,300-pound speedboats
• Six 1,000-pound telephone polls
• Two 2,600-pound medium missiles
• One 5,000-pound forklift

Other Performance Features

Here are other performance-focused features that will come in handy when you're towing:

Crawl Control: This advanced system automatically adjusts your truck’s throttle and brakes to one of five low-speed settings. This way, you can comfortably tow when taking on tough terrains.

Hill Start Assist Control: This system assists on inclines and helps you safely get up those hills. This technology helps reduce the chance of your Tacoma rolling backwards when switching from the brake to the gas pedal. Your truck and its attachments will stand sturdy on ramps and platforms.

Available Multi-Terrain Monitor: This monitor gives you visuals of your truck's front, rear, and side surroundings. This information is beautifully displayed on the 8-inch navigation screen. With a press of a button, you can take a look around for any obstacles in your path as you hitch or unhitch your trailer.

If you're seeking security for your truck’s bed, there’s the standard deck rail system. This system is designed to hold down your equipment using four heavy-duty adjustable tie-down cleats. Your cargo will not slip and slide when you're driving.
