2021 Toyota Tacoma Review – A Rugged and Reliable Off-Roader

2021 Toyota Tacoma Review – A Rugged and Reliable Off-Roader

In the mid-size pickup truck class, there are many fine vehicles, but none can match the balance that the 2021 Toyota Tacoma maintains by being both a practical daily driver and an off-road-ready machine. Initially introduced in 1995, the Toyota Tacoma has gained its reputation and following over the years by providing exactly what drivers want and need.

 

Models and Pricing

Starting at $38,350, the 2021 Toyota Tacoma is available in six model configurations with the option of access or double cab for more passenger space. The best thing about the 2021 Toyota Tacoma is that drivers can customize it to their specifications–even the base model is available with the SR5 or TRD Off-Road packages.

 

Performance

 

Every model of the 2021 Toyota Tacoma features the same engine–a 3.5-litre V6 that delivers 278 horsepower. It provides capability in the form of a 2,948 kg towing capacity, as well as a smooth and satisfying ride.

 

When equipped with the TRD Off-Road package, lifted suspension, and upgraded shock absorbers and tires, the Tacoma becomes one of the best off-roading mid-size pickup trucks available.

 

Infotainment

While other mid-size pickup trucks drop an infotainment system on base models, the 2021 Toyota Tacoma ensures that drivers of all models are treated to the latest in technology. Every model features a touchscreen infotainment system with a 7-inch screen on the base model and an 8-inch screen on all others. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity also come standard.

 

Safety

 

Toyota Safety Sense P comes standard on every model of the 2021 Tacoma, protecting drivers when they need it most. This includes a pre-collision system, lane departure alert, dynamic radar cruise control, automatic high beams, and more. It offers the most standard driver-assist technology in its class, jumping over key rivals that dropped the ball on safety.

 

Value

Toyota knows a thing or two about producing dependable, quality vehicles, and the Tacoma pickup truck is no different. It has been named the Vincentric 2020 Best Value in Canada for Small Pickup, as well as received the Canadian Black Book 2020 Best Retained Value Award for Small Pickup. It offers a low cost of ownership and high retained value that few other manufacturers could ever hope to match.

 

The 2021 Toyota Tacoma offers many reasons to choose it over class rivals, including standard technology and safety features, reliability, and value. Overall, it is simply a great truck. Looking for a 2021 Tacoma? Please don’t hesitate to ask us.
