2025 Toyota Tacoma Comparison Highlights
Designed in the United States, the Tacoma is the manifestation of Toyota's "work hard, play hard" philosophy that originated from the brand's legendary desert race trucks. This rich heritage plus an industry-backed lifestyle of customizing and personalizing the Tacoma are big reasons why this truck continues to be popular among adventure-seekers.
And for the 2023 model year, there are even more ways to make the Tacoma a reflection of your personality, starting with the new Chrome Package for the V6-powered Double Cab Tacoma SR5 grade. This available upgrade adds even more sophistication with 18-inch chrome-finished alloy wheels alongside chrome-finished outer door handles, exhaust tip, and tailgate TACOMA insert.
In addition, the SR5 grade now has access to the SX Package which gives the Tacoma a bolder look thanks to black overfenders, black 16-inch wheels, blackout trim, and black badging. Other smaller details also receive this blackout treatment, including outer mirrors and wheel lug nuts, and a unique bed graphic rounds out this stylish package.
Underneath the Tacoma's sporty exterior is a high-strength foundation that's powered by a standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of peak torque. Those needing even more capability can upgrade to the available 3.5-liter V6 engine that utilizes Toyota's VVT-iW technology and Atkinson-cycle combustion to aid in optimizing overall efficiency. With this advanced system, you'll benefit from 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of peak torque.
Getting the power to the ground is either standard rear-wheel drive or an available 4WDemand part-time 4WD which uses an electronically controlled transfer case to distribute power between the axles. An Automatic Limited Slip Differential is included as standard, and applies braking pressure on specific wheels at low speeds to provide similar driving dynamics that you'd find with a mechanical limited slip differential. Alternatively, you can upgrade to an electronically controlled locking rear differential for improved all-around performance.
And if you're looking for the ultimate off-roader, the mighty Tacoma TRD Pro is back for 2023 and adds extra parts that further strengthen its performance and capability. A new Solar Octane exterior color has been added to the palette for this model year, and it's a perfect complement to the bolder look of the TRD Pro. One of the key highlights of this flagship model is its special lifted TRD-tuned suspension with FOX 2.5-inch internal bypass shocks. Thanks to TRD-engineered aluminum control arms, the TRD Pro is able to take advantage of larger suspension travel as well as clear obstacles with more ease thanks to its 36.4-degree approach angle.
Overall, there are 34 possible model configurations for the 2023 Tacoma, between cab styles, bed lengths, and drivetrains, and each model comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense P. This advanced system delivers features like a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, high-speed dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert, and more.
