There are more midsize pickup trucks available these days than there used to be for Stanleytown, Danville, Rocky Mount, and Greensboro shoppers to choose from. However, the 2025 Toyota Tacoma sets the standard after its complete redesign last year. With its rugged looks, superb interior, and excellent midsize capability combined with Toyota trucks’ legendary reliability, the Toyota Tacoma is in a class all of its own.
The 2025 Toyota Tacoma offers a range of six trim levels designed to cover all the midsize truck bases, whether you’re seeking off-road prowess or modern sophistication. The TRD Off-Road trim, with its Bilstein shocks and selectable locking rear differential, is ideal for adventurous drivers who crave rugged trails and off-the-grid experiences. Meanwhile, the TRD Sport delivers a more road-friendly experience with refined features like an 18-inch alloy wheel setup, making it a perfect choice for those wanting a sportier aesthetic and superior handling on city streets. The Limited trim takes luxury up a notch, offering premium features that make it more suited for drivers seeking comfort and sophistication in their daily drives. The full lineup starts with the SR trim and then goes to the SR5, TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and top-of-the-line Limited.
The 2025 Toyota Tacoma has exciting engine choices that offer plenty of power and efficiency. The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder turbocharged i-FORCE engine delivers 228, 270, or 278 horsepower, depending on the drivetrain chosen. The 228-horsepower version has 243 lb.-ft. of torque, the 270-horsepower unit has 310 lb.-ft., and the 278-horsepower engine offers 317 lb.-ft. of torque. Most Toyota Tacoma’s come with an eight-speed automatic transmission, but there’s also a six-speed manual option. Rear and four-wheel-drive and two different rear suspension setups are available. However, if you want your midsize truck to rival the power and capability of some full-size half-ton pickups, the i-FORCE MAX versions of the 2025 Tacoma are happy to oblige. These trucks feature a hybrid version of the 2.4-liter engine with 326 horsepower and a massive 465 lb.-ft. of torque at the Toyota Tacoma’s disposal. The Toyota Tacoma has a maximum payload rating of 1,705 and a maximum towing weight of 6,500 pounds.
The 2025 Toyota Tacoma can be as workmanlike or comfortable and well-equipped as you like. If you want your truck for the worksite, the SR, SR5, and TRD PreRunner are all excellent options that offer many ways to configure them to suit your needs. The comfort and technology features get increasingly impressive when you go beyond those three. The Toyota Tacoma cabin blends comfort, utility, and cutting-edge technology, making it ideal for work and leisure. Inside, the 2025 model offers spacious seating for up to five, with high-quality materials in various trims. The Limited trim brings luxury to the forefront with SofTex-trimmed seats, power-adjustable front seats, and available heated and ventilated front seating. Rear-seat passengers enjoy generous legroom, especially in the Double Cab models. On the technology front, the Toyota Tacoma has a standard 8-inch multimedia touchscreen, while higher trims like the TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road feature a 14-inch display with JBL premium audio and wireless smartphone integration. Advanced features such as a 12.3-inch digital gauge display, wireless charging, and Toyota’s Safety Sense 3.0 suite of driver-assistance technologies further elevate the Tacoma’s modern appeal, ensuring its place at the top of the midsize truck food chain.
