Experience the refined power and rugged capability of the newest Tacoma firsthand at Preston Toyota.

Dynamic Turbocharged Performance and 4WD Capability

The 2026 Tacoma 4WD is powered by a high-torque 2.4-liter turbocharged engine that delivers up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is specifically tuned to provide the low-end muscle required for technical off-roading and confident towing. The part-time 4WD system allows you to easily shift between fuel-efficient two-wheel drive for highway cruising and high-traction 4-wheel drive when the pavement ends or the snow starts to fall. For those who want total control over their drive, select 4WD models are even available with a 6-speed intelligent manual transmission featuring automatic rev-matching.

Off-Road Ready: Suspension and Traction Technology

Every Tacoma 4WD is built on a high-strength steel chassis shared with Toyota's larger trucks, ensuring maximum durability. In trims like the TRD Off-Road, you'll find specialized equipment such as Bilstein monotube shocks with remote reservoirs, which are designed to dissipate heat and provide consistent damping on rough Lawrence County backroads. The available Multi-Terrain Select system allows you to optimize your traction by choosing between modes like Mud, Dirt, and Sand, while the updated Crawl Control acts as a low-speed off-road cruise control, allowing you to focus on steering through the toughest obstacles.

Interior Innovation and Smart Connectivity

Inside the 2026 Tacoma 4WD, you'll find a modernized cabin that prioritizes both comfort and utility. The dashboard features a standard 8-inch or an available class-leading 14-inch multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. To help you navigate tight trails or busy New Castle parking lots, the available 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor provides multiple camera views of the area immediately surrounding your truck. Additional conveniences include a standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster on most models and a clever JBL premium audio system with a detachable Bluetooth speaker for your next tailgate or campsite.

Towing Power and Standard Safety

Capability is at the core of the 2026 Tacoma 4WD, which boasts a maximum towing capacity of up to 6,500 pounds and a payload capacity of up to 1,710 pounds. This makes it more than ready to pull a boat to Lake Arthur or haul a bed full of home improvement supplies. Safety remains a top priority, as every Tacoma comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. This suite of active safety features includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, providing peace of mind whether you're on a job site or a family road trip.
