Everything to Know About The Toyota Tacoma 2WD

The Toyota Tacoma 2WD, along with its 4WD versions, is the best-selling pickup truck in its segment. This midsize Toyota pickup truck has always retained certain qualities, such as its tough-as-nails build quality, endless variants, stellar off-roading ability, and all-weather practicality. The big rear-wheel drive Toyota has several customization options and an aggressive exterior design theme.

Everything to Know About The Toyota Tacoma 2WD
If you wish to purchase the Toyota Tacoma 2WD, here are some of its key talking points:

Exterior and interior
The Toyota Tacoma 2WD has an imposing and rugged exterior design. It features several black design details, such as black wing mirrors, black alloy wheels, black overfenders, black badges, and panels, to make it even more visually appealing. In the optional Chrome package, your Tacoma 2WD will have chrome detailing as well, such as chrome-finished alloys, chrome on door handles, and tailgate chrome inserts.
Tacoma’s cabin is minimalistic, if a little utilitarian. The interior heavily features hard plastics and other durable materials to boost the vehicle’s tank-like appeal further. The Tacoma’s dashboard has large and easy-to-use controls and a large infotainment screen to help regulate several functions, such as its audio system, the air-conditioning, and others. The seats have ample room, although the rear-seated passengers may find the legroom limited. The Toyota Tacoma 2WD also has limited storage spaces in the cabin to store loose items and goods. External visibility from the cabin is good due to the vehicle’s large side windows, forward- and side-facing parking cameras, and the profile of its hood.
For towing and external storage, the Toyota Tacoma 2WD’s truck bed works well too. The bed is made from a composite material that removes the need for a bed liner. Loading goods into the back of the truck is easy due to its combination of fixed and movable tie-downs and its low-opening tailgate. The maximum towing capacity of the Toyota Tacoma 2WD is 6,800 lbs.

Engine and fuel economy
There are two engine choices, a 4-cylinder 2.7-liter engine that makes 159 hp and 180 lb-ft torque and a 3.5-liter V6 that makes 278 hp power and 265 lb-ft torque. Both engines come with a 6-speed automatic gearbox with a manual shifting mode. The engines provide adequate power to Tacoma and are generally smooth and reliable.
Regarding fuel economy, the four-cylinder engine returns 20 mpg in cities and 23 mpg on highways, while the big V6 returns 19 mpg in cities and 24 mpg on highways.

Ride and handling
The Toyota Tacoma 2WD rides stably. Its pliant suspension and the fully adjustable 10-way driver’s seat (in the V6-powered variants) make long rides comfortable for drivers of all heights and sizes. Additionally, the cabin has good noise insulation because of Tacoma’s thicker side-window glass.
The Toyota Tacoma’s handling is smooth due to its light and responsive steering system. While the Tacoma brakes could do with more bite, it still has largely predictable on-road manners. Once you go off-road, Tacoma enters its natural habitat. The vehicle’s massive 9.4-inch ground clearance, grippy tires, responsive throttle, and tough chassis make it an ally to conquer any terrain.

Variants and price range
The Tacoma 2WD comes in several variants, such as the SR 2WD Access Cab, SR 2WD Double Cab, SR5 2WD Access Cab, SR V6 2WD Access Cab, SR5 2WD Double Cab, SR5 V6 2WD Access Cab, SR5 V6 2WD Short Bed Double Cab, SR5 V6 2WD Long Bed Double Cab, TRD Sport 2WD Access Cab, TRD Sport 2WD Short Bed Double Cab, TRD Off Road 2WD Double Cab, TRD Sport 2WD Long Bed Double Cab, Limited 2WD Double Cab. The base price range for the Toyota Tacoma 2WD goes from $27,250 to $40,005. These prices are subject to change.
