Michael Cantu, with Edmunds saidThe Toyota Tacoma is the best-selling truck in its segment for a reason. Foremost, it enjoys a long-standing reputation for durability and go-anywhere capability. But it's also smooth, efficient and easy to get along with on the road. The Tacoma is one of Toyota's success stories. Not only does it outsell the Tundra and 4Runner, it is also the best-selling pickup in the midsize truck segment. Over the years it has built a fiercely loyal following, and the Tacoma can be uniquely customized thanks to what seems like an infinite number of aftermarket products. This is a tough truck with impressive off-road capability and is a manageable size if you don't want a full-size truck.
Off-road is where the Tacoma truly shines and stands above all others. The Tacoma has the clearance, gearing and traction to tackle serious terrain, and the brakes and throttle prove brilliantly precise and controllable in low-range crawling situations.
When the trail gets challenging, Tacoma TRD Off-Roads Crawl Control is here to help you conquer your off road adventure. This advanced system automatically modulates the throttle and brakes on five low-speed settings so you can keep your focus on navigating across difficult terrain. Tacoma TRD Off-Roads standard electronically controlled locking rear differential distributes engine power evenly to both rear wheels so they move at the same speed, providing more grip in low-traction conditions. Tacoma TRD Off-Road features MultiTerrain Select. With five modes to choose from, this system helps regulate wheelspin by automatically adjusting the engine throttle and traction control. When combined with standard Goodyear Wrangler tires with tough Kevlar construction, Multi-Terrain Select helps improve traction dramatically.
