Whatever the terrain, Tacoma is king of the hill. The Toyota Tacoma is America's best-selling mid-size pickup for 10 years running and is Lord of the Rigs for dirt stomping adventurers. With a legacy of off-road victories and over seven million units sold since 1964. Plus, for 2018 the Tacoma is the only vehicle in its class equipped with a Pre-Collision System, a Lane Departure Alert System, Adaptive Cruise Control and Automatic High Beam Headlights as Standard Equipment.
TRD Pro
The Tacoma TRD Pro lets you forge your own path and seek out tougher roads. The TRD Pro includes many unique features including the TRD Pro skid plate which is constructed from 1/4-in.-hick aluminum. It helps protect crucial mechanical components underneath the front end, so you can go beyond points on the map. To beef up the bark of the TRD Pro Tacoma the cat-back exhaust adds a raspy exhaust note that is sure to announce your arrival. And, to make sure you can see on all those back country roads, intense Rigid Industries LED fog lights pack a lot of brightness in a compact package. Their wide-angle beam pattern makes sure you’ve got light when and where you need it most! Lastly, to make sure you’ve got the ground clearance, travel and maximum damping needed the TRD-tuned FOX Internal Bypass shocks give you the ultimate in performance and control. They feature 2.5-in. aluminum housing; hardened, oversize shock shafts; and remote reservers in the rear. In other words, this suspension helps to smooth out the rough stuff.
Wear Your Dirt Like a Badge of Honor.
Whether freshly waxed, coated in dust or caked in mud, Tacoma’s good looks impress from every angle. Up front, its aggressive grille and available hood scoop hint at the power that lies under the hood. The strong profile reveals chiseled lines, muscular fenders and a purposeful off-road stance. Out back, a tailgate embossed with the Tacoma logo finishes off this truck’s athletic look.
Creature Comforts.
More than a command center, Tacoma’s cabin is the ultimate hangout. Its clean layout and intuitive controls were designed with the driver in mind, and the soft-touch materials used throughout help everyone relax in style. Tacoma Off-Road grade brings even more good stuff, with features like available leather-trimmed seating surfaces and standard dual zone automatic climate control. And with room for up to five, Tacoma makes it easy to bring the whole crew along for the ride.

Making the Grades
The 2018 Tacoma will be available in five grades in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. Each grade will have its own personality and unique look. Tacoma grades include:
• Work-ready SR
• High-style, high-value SR5
• Athletic TRD Sport
• Adventurous TRD Off-Road
• Top of the line Limited
• Ultimate Off-Road TRD Pro
The three TRD grades are inspired by Toyota Racing Development's more than 35-year history in desert off-road racing and a heritage of vehicles that have helped off-road enthusiasts conquer the toughest terrains in the most remote locations around the globe. Tacoma buyers will now have the opportunity to capture their global adventures on video as every Tacoma will come standard with a GoPro® mount located near the rear-view mirror.
Traveling Off the Beaten Path
Tacoma off-roading adventures will reach new levels of fun in the TRD Off-Road grade thanks to the addition of incredible technology. A Multi-Terrain Select system allows the driver to choose between different types of terrain such as loose rock, or mud and sand. Each input regulates wheel spin by adjusting throttle and brake pressure to provide maximum traction on almost any terrain.
Additional off-road technology includes Automatic Limited Slip and Locking Rear Differential, Hill Start Assist Control (HAC), Clutch Start Cancel (manual transmission only), Active Traction Control, and Crawl Control. Engaging Crawl Control allows the driver to select a speed of 1-5 mph. The Crawl Control system takes over the acceleration and braking, allowing the driver to focus solely on steering.
Toyota Safety Sense P
Toyota Safety Sense P combines an in-vehicle camera and front-grill mounted millimeter-wave radar for enhanced performance and more functionality. In addition to the three active safety technologies featured in the TSS-C package, TSS-P enhances the Pre-Collision System by adding a Pedestrian Detection function, enhances LDA by adding a Steering Assist function on certain models, and adds Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
