The classic pickup truck that takes you on all your greatest adventures and gets all your toughest jobs done is better than ever before. Featuring reliability that you can count on, style that turns heads, and rugged durability, the 2021 Toyota Tacoma gives you everything you need, and much more. There are good reasons that Kelly Blue Book awarded Toyota the “Best Truck Brand of 2020.”
1. Powerful Performance
Enjoy the power of an Atkinson cycle 3.5 liter V6 direct-injection engine. VVT-iW (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent wider intake) and VVT-i (variable valve timing-intelligent exhaust) are technologies developed by Toyota to increase the power and efficiency of the engine. This all translates to more horsepower and more torque, so you can power through any situation. Coupled with a tow package, this engine can tow up to 6,800 pounds!
2. Off-Road Capabilities That Rock
When you’re deep in the backcountry, you need to know that your vehicle can get through anything. That’s why the Tacoma’s off-road capabilities include:
Electronically Locking Rear Differential
This distributes power evenly to both rear wheels providing more grip in low traction situations.
Crawl Control
This system automatically modulates the throttle and brakes so you can stay focused while navigating through rough terrain.
Multi-Terrain Select
This system dramatically improves traction with five different terrain modes to choose from.
Hill Start Assist Control
Power up steep hills with confidence. Hill Start Assist Control prevents you from rolling backward when switching between the gas and the brake.
Multi-Terrain Monitor
Check your immediate surroundings from the captain’s seat. Front, side, and rearview camera angles are displayed on your 8-inch screen so you can detect obstacles close by.
Bilstein Shocks
Delivering consistent performance, these shocks dampen the impact of the trails with components designed specifically for off-roading.7
3. TRD Pro
Designed for the wildest terrain and most exciting off-road adventures, the Tacoma TRD Pro comes with specially engineered parts and accessories developed by the Toyota Racing Development team. A special skid plate acts as armor for the components underneath the vehicle while TRD-tuned FOX Internal Bypass Shocks provide more ground clearance, more travel, and maximum dampening.
Rugged LED fog lights deliver wide-angle beam patterns. 16-inch black alloy wheels are surrounded by Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires. (And that’s only scratching the surface!)
4. Manual Transmissions Aren’t Going Anywhere at Toyota
It’s getting harder and harder to find trucks that still offer a manual transmission option. However, Toyota designers know how good it feels to experience the control and connection to the road you can only get with a manual. If you decide you want an automatic, you’re still getting an incredibly intelligent ECT-i transmission that shifts seamlessly.
5. Technology for the Future
Toyota has really stepped up its game with the technology features in the 2021 Tacoma. Here are just a few of these technologies (ask the professionals at Rick McGill’s Airport Toyota to explain these features in further detail):
- Star Safety System
- Blindspot monitor with cross-traffic alert
- Integrated backup camera with rear parking sonar
- Remote connect
- Safety Connect
- Destination Assist
- Service Connect
No matter how tough the job is or how exciting the adventure will be, your Tacoma is a trusted companion you can rely on day after day. With updated technologies in the cab and under the hood, you’re looking at the best work truck and offroad vehicle money can buy. We know you’re starting to have visions of your next expedition already, so stop by Rick McGill’s Airport Toyota today and test drive a new Tacoma!
