What's New for the 2026 Toyota Tacoma?
The 2026 Toyota Tacoma is part of the model’s fourth generation, which debuted in 2024. This mid-size truck, available in both two-door and four-door body styles, is a smart choice for drivers who need utility and demand style from their next vehicle. Due to the Tacoma’s next-generation overhaul only a few years ago, this model remains unchanged for the 2026 model year.
With its muscularly sculpted sides and rigid, squared-off fenders, the Tacoma makes a strong statement on the road. Its sporty yet powerful look is enhanced by a strongly angled front windshield and a tall, muscular hood. At the front, the 2026 Tacoma sports a wide grille that tapers to points at the sides. The slightly flared headlights feature upper and lower LED bars, mounted over unique accents. Exterior features include a 5-foot or 6-foot bed, up to 33-inch tires, a power tailgate, power running boards, a bed storage box, and others.
The Tacoma’s entry-level trim, the SR, is equipped with a 2.4-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine producing 228 horsepower. This system features rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. However, four-wheel drive with low-range gearing is offered as an upgrade. The mid-level engine is an upgraded version of the SR’s engine, producing 278 horsepower and featuring an eight-speed automatic transmission. With a six-speed manual transmission, the output is 270 horsepower. The TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited versions of the 2026 Tacoma have a plug-in hybrid system. This is the i-Force Max powertrain, and it produces 326 horsepower.
Entry-level features for the Tacoma include lane departure mitigation, forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 8-inch touchscreen display, a push-button ignition, and more. As you step up the trim level lineup, you will also find features like a digital instrument panel, a leather-trimmed and heated steering wheel, auto climate control, a wireless trailer camera, a household power outlet, a sunroof, wireless phone charging, a 360-degree camera, a JBL premium sound system, and more.
