If you’re looking to buy a new pickup truck this year, instead of looking at traditional trucks, consider a new Toyota Tacoma. You’ll be amazed at all the features owners love about the 2021 Toyota Tacoma.

Its Four-Wheel-Drive Capabilities

The single feature that Toyota Tundra owners love about their truck is its off-road capabilities. The Toyota Racing Development (TRD) models are ideal for driving over even the rockiest of trails and perfect for playing in the mud. The 16-inch wheels are designed to take you over difficult terrain with ease, and the standard locking rear differential ensures you’ll never get stuck in a mud bog or ditch when you’re out blazing new trails or tackling a snowstorm.

Its In-Cab Technology

When you’re out hitting the off-road trails, it’s nice to have in-cab technology to keep you entertained. All Tacomas come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a modern infotainment system, and a WiFi hotspot that’s available with an additional subscription. The power-adjustable driver’s seat will ensure your comfort as you’re conquering hills and crawling over boulders. You can also keep your gadgets charged with the various USB and other ports available on the dashboard and in the center console.

Its Standard Safety Features

Of course, you want to keep yourself and your passengers as safe as possible when you’re both on- and off-road, and the Toyota Tacoma offers the most standard safety features in its class. You’ll find a forward-collision warning system, automated emergency braking, a lane-departure warning system, and adaptive cruise control, among other features, all standard on any model Tacoma you buy. You won’t find these features on other trucks without paying more for an upgraded vehicle.

Its Complimentary Maintenance

Every new Toyota Tacoma comes with a complimentary maintenance package for the first two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. You’ll get free oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-vehicle inspections when you bring your truck in at the manufacturer-recommended intervals. Additionally, you also have access to free roadside service for the first two years of ownership as well (there is no mileage limit for this perk), which will give you free tows, free tire changes, and free fuel.

Its Towing and Payload Capacity

You definitely want a truck that can handle towing and hauling, because otherwise, what’s the point of a truck? The new Tacoma can tow up to 6,800 pounds if you have the rear-wheel-drive model or 6,500 pounds if you have the four-wheel-drive model. You’ll also be able to haul whatever you need in either its five-foot or six-foot bed. However, the two-wheel-drive models can only tow 3,500 pounds, so go for the 4WD, if you plan to tow a lot.

Its Fuel Economy

Trucks have never been known for their fuel economy, but the Toyota Tacoma gets better-than-average miles per gallon. It will get 18 miles per gallon in the city and 23 miles per gallon on the highway, which falls in the middle of the pack for its class. Trucks may never be environmentally friendly, but you could do much worse than the Tacoma.
