2022 Toyota Tacoma Review

Put Restrictions in the Rearview

The 2022 Toyota Tacoma was engineered to go places other pickups won’t. Thanks to an available Atkinson-cycle 3.5L V6 engine and its optional 6-speed manual transmission, you can experience a thrilling ride that doesn’t burn your fuel tank.

A truck for drivers with an outdoorsy lifestyle, the 2022 Tacoma can haul an impressive 6,800 pounds along with an additional 1,440 pounds in the bed when properly equipped. From a fishing boat or ATVs to your family’s camper, you won’t have to worry about leaving anything behind. Additional standard and available features include:

• 4WDemand part-time 4WD
• Multi-Terrain Select
• Hill Start Assist Control
• Trailer Sway Control
• Bilstein® shocks

Tacoma Trail Special Edition

New to the lineup, the Trail Special Edition is designed for drivers who enjoy spending their days traveling far off the blacktop. Featuring an air dam ORP skid plate and boosted suspension, this midsize can easily traverse creek beds and rocky terrain.

To keep your gear safe and secure, its bed comes with a lockable storage bin with insulation. Now, you can stow everything from cold drinks to your prized catch. For extra power, the Trail Special Edition also comes standard with a 120V bed outlet with enough juice to power a small air pump, stereo, and more!  

Take Shelter From The Everyday  

On average, pickup drivers spend more time on the road than their 4-wheel counterparts. That’s why the 2022 Tacoma interior is designed to bring the comforts of home along for the ride.

Do you want to quickly warm up the cabin on those chilly mornings? Use the Smart Key System to start the engine from the outside. No matter how you like to ride, the dual zone automatic climate control keeps you and your passengers perfectly cozy.

Need to take a meeting from the road? Sync your smartphone to standard tech, including Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® wireless technology, and be about your day. Can’t remember if you turned off the living room lights? The Tacoma even offers Amazon Alexa services that are able to connect to your home device.

No matter where the day leads, you can enjoy all your favorite music, news, and apps thanks to built-in Wi-Fi® Connect technology.
