2021 Toyota Tacoma Review

2021 Tacoma: Write Your Own Off-Road Epic

Where other pickup trucks see obstacles, an off-roader like the Toyota Tacoma sees potential for fun. The wildest places become this pickup’s playground with a host of off-road features.

Mud and rocks can be challenging, but this Toyota truck takes them in stride with Crawl Control (CRAWL) on the Tacoma TRD Off-Road. It takes control of the throttle and the brakes on five low-speed settings, so you can focus on steering through tough terrain.

Don’t let knee-deep sand give you the slip. The Tacoma TRD Off-Road features an electronically locking rear differential. It allows you to send engine power evenly to both rear wheels. Make them move at the same speed so your differential is never a detriment in the dirt!

Safety Technologies: Toyota Safety Sense™ P 

You want a truck that can keep you and your passengers safer. The Toyota Tacoma offers all the basics, from the standard Star Safety System™ to standard Toyota Safety Sense™ P. The latter driver-assist suite can boost your awareness and responsiveness with:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Lane Departure Alert

As you embark on nighttime adventures, the Tacoma provides standard Automatic High Beams as well. It can detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and toggle automatically from high to low beams and back again. See clearly at night without blinding others!

So, What Can the 2021 Toyota Tacoma Tow?

Boats. Teardrop trailers. Jet skis. Whatever you have, the 2021 Tacoma can bring ’em along—as long as you don’t exceed the truck’s max towing capacity of 6,800 pounds when equipped. 

It could be the beginning of your ultimate adventure! Even if you find yourself in a crosswind, the Tacoma has your back with Trailer-Sway Control, which is available as part of the Tow Package. When the wind kicks up, your truck buckles down.

The Tacoma can also carry a max payload of 1,440 pounds. So, strap down what you need and roll out. Fresh air, wide-open spaces, and stunning landscapes await!
