2022 Toyota Tacoma Trail Edition 4x4 Review

Off the Beaten Path

This truck comes standard with four-wheel drive to offer the kind of traction and control you’ll need for all those adventures. However, the Toyota Tacoma Trail Edition also packs a few additional surprises, which combine to offer an incredible off-road experience.

The standard 3.5L V6 engine can crank out some serious power. With up to 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque on your side, the Tacoma will help you dominate every trail that comes your way. Plus, with the Tacoma Tow Package that comes standard with the V6 engine, you’ll have a maximum towing capacity of up to 6,400 pounds when properly equipped.

The higher suspension and special skid plate work in tandem to help you climb over even the rockiest of roads. Additionally, the standard locking rear differential ensures that you’ll have the traction you need to trek over difficult terrain in those low-speed four-wheel-drive situations.

A Versatile Truck Bed

The insulated bed behind the driver’s side gives you a built-in cooler with your truck. Whether you want to pack a few cold ones to enjoy with your pals or need to keep your bait cool as you head to your favorite fishing spot, this is sure to come in handy.

Another useful feature found back here is the 120-volt outlet. This will be a welcome addition to any outing, as it can help you turn your camping trip into a glamping trip. Charge your phone, power up a heater, or plug in other essential pieces of technology and let your Tacoma keep you powered up.

Tech for the Trail

The tech of the 2022 Tacoma Trail Edition is made for the trail. For example, there are plenty of features that are designed to keep you feeling comfortable and confident on the road.

Take the standard 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat with 2-way power lumbar support and the standard Trailer Sway Control for instance. Both of these features will support you in different ways to ensure you have a wonderful off-road experience.

You can relax with the dual-zone automatic climate control and have fun with the standard 8-inch multimedia touchscreen.

Furthermore, standard Toyota Safety Sense™ P offers a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features that you can really depend on. From the Automatic High Beams to the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, this system is always looking out for you.
