Toyota Tacoma Engine Options

You're going to need a lot of engine power to be able to tackle big towing jobs, and the Toyota Tacoma comes equipped with a standard 2.7L 4-Cylinder engine with 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. This Toyota Tacoma powertrain offers a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds so you can handle small trailers with no trouble.

If you have larger cargo you need to bring along with you, you can move up to the available 3.5L V6 engine. This powertrain gives you up to 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque to work with. That means you'll have a max towing capacity of up to 6,800 pounds, so you can handle much larger cargo.

To help you make the most of that powertrain, this vehicle is then equipped with a standard 6-Speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission with intelligence. This advanced transmission will upshift at just the right moment so you have the power you need for every situation.

Toyota Tacoma Towing Safety Features

It's essential to stay safe when you're bringing along a trailer with you. To make sure you're prepared for highway towing, the Toyota Tacoma gives drivers an available Trailer-Sway Controller. This technology is designed to even out your trailer during a fishtailing event by applying brake pressure when your trailer starts to sway.

To help keep your vehicle steady even when driving in difficult weather, this truck comes standard with a Star Safety System™. This suite of features comes with all sorts of safety systems, including:

• Vehicle Stability Control
• Traction Control
• Anti-lock Brake System
• Electronic Brake-force Distribution
• Brake Assist
• Smart Stop Technology^®

Finally, this truck tops it all off with a standard Hill Start Assist that can be a huge help when you have a lot of weight behind you on an incline. If you're stopped on a hill and you're trying to pick up speed again, this truck will keep the brakes applied a bit longer to allow you to build up speed. You'll have no trouble moving uphill in traffic thanks to this.

If you're looking for a vehicle you can count on for everything from driving down a dusty trail to towing on the highway, you'll want the Toyota Tacoma. This durable truck is up to just about any challenge you put it up against in the Leesville, New Llano, and Anacoco areas.
