When it comes to pickups, the 2019 Toyota Tacoma is bringing a lot to the table in terms of features and capability. Here are some of the reasons why this truck can’t be beaten.
Impressive Performance
With the available 3.5-liter V-6 engine under the hood and the tow package equipped, the 2019 Toyota Tacoma can tow up to 6,800 pounds. This engine also offers 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The standard engine on lower trim levels, a 2.7-liter four-cylinder, also packs some power offering 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. This engine allows for up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped.
If you’re looking for the best performance the 2019 Tacoma has to offer, choose the TRD Pro model. This option comes with high-performance features including rear remote reservoir shocks, a coil-spring double-wishbone suspension in the front with a rear stabilizer bar, and a cat-back exhaust exclusive to the TRD Pro.
Off-Road Capability
Choose any of the TRD models for additional off-road features and capabilities. The TRD Off-Road trim offers the most trail-ready features of all the Tacoma trims. A crawl control system gives the 2019 Tacoma the ability to climb rough terrain as it automatically manages throttle and brake power for ideal grip. You’ll enjoy additional traction even in poor driving conditions thanks to an electronically controlled locking rear differential. A multi-terrain select system allows you to choose between five different modes for your preferred drive every time you get behind the wheel.
Advanced Safety
With the Toyota Safety Sense P package equipped, the 2019 Tacoma is loaded with active safety features to grant you peace of mind with every drive. A pre-collision warning system with pedestrian detection will help keep an eye out for potential front collisions and will alert the driver if one is detected. If you don’t react in time, the brake assist system will help you bring the vehicle to a stop to avoid an accident. Lane-departure warning and intelligent cruise control will help you maintain a safe distance from other drivers.
Other available safety features include a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alerts, which will let you know when there are obstacles in hard-to-see places whether you’re changing lanes or backing out of a parking spot. Toyota’s Star Safety System includes several fully integrated safety features like traction control, anti-lock brakes, vehicle stability control, and more.
Eye-Catching Style
In addition to the many impressive, but somewhat hidden features of the 2019 Tacoma, it also offers a bold style that’s sure to turn some heads. The Tacoma logo embossed in the tailgate will let on-lookers know what they’re admiring as you drive by. Lighting features are raising the bar with LED running lights and projector-beam headlights. The bold front fascia includes the classic honeycomb grille and bold lines. When you choose the TRD Pro model, you’ll get a heritage-inspired blackout grille design.
