The newest compact truck is here from Toyota, and it's reliable as ever. Toyota trucks are known for their stable performance and fuel efficiency, and with a fresh design, the Tacoma looks pretty smart and athletic too. The performance features include six-speed transmission, horsepower up to 278, and a towing capacity over 6,500 pounds.

The Tacoma is well known for its base engine, which is a four-cylinder that gets decent gas mileage for a small truck. For those who just want a lightweight utility truck, the Tacoma provides that and then some.  

The new Toyota Tacoma is available at Hixson Toyota Leesville, and this popular midsize pickup truck comes with numerous safety features that you'll want to experience to appreciate. Here are two for your consideration before you make that buying decision.

The Blind Spot Information system is able to identify if another vehicle has crept up behind your Toyota Tacoma. If another vehicle now occupies a blind spot behind your vehicle, your side mirror starts flashing so you know which lane to avoid and when it will be safe again to move into an adjacent lane safely. 

In the market for a popular midsize pickup truck? The Toyota Tacoma and its numerous safety features certainly will not disappoint.

The Lane Departure Alert feature in the Toyota Tacoma helps to keep drivers alert behind the wheel. If you begin to drift out of your lane, the steering wheel begins to vibrate. These vibrations get stronger the longer the driver does not take corrective action. Once the vehicle is back in the lane lines, the alert goes back to scanning the road.
