The Toyota Tacoma was designed to meet the needs of truck fans who are looking for a smaller take on the pickup truck concept. The mid-size Tacoma can be had in a wide variety of configurations and body styles, including off-road oriented four-wheel drive models, eco-minded single cab variants, and five-passenger four-door editions. Power comes from either a 2.7L four-cylinder that generates 159 horses or a 4.0L V6 that is good for 236 ponies.
