2021 Tacoma : New features and new styles

When you want a powerful and capable pickup truck that’s built for adventure-seeking, there’s only one choice – the Toyota Tacoma.

For 2021, Toyota Canada introduces two new models, both featuring Double Cabs and five-foot beds:

• The Toyota Tacoma Nightshade is equipped with a long list of premium features, then finished with a unique styling package featuring a premium black leather interior and numerous black exterior styling cues.
• The Toyota Tacoma Trail is a ruggedly-stylish model equipped with many trail-friendly features at an attractive price.

Also for 2021, Toyota enhances all Tacoma models with dual-zone automatic air conditioning and display audio system that now support both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

All models feature a hard-playing exterior that’s a clear reflection of Tacoma’s capabilities. Sport models feature sophisticated style while trail and off-road models express their terrain-conquering prowess. All models are equipped with many practical features that Tacoma owners will love and others will envy – such as the locking tailgate that is not only easy to lift and lower but also to remove. Coupled with a rear step bumper, loading and unloading is a breeze.

Under the hood, all 2021 Tacoma models feature a powerful yet efficient 3.5-litre V6 coupled to a choice of 6-speed automatic transmission or 6-speed manual gearbox. The result is plenty of power and impressive efficiency. Heavy-duty suspensions are ready to provide secure footing over almost any terrain while keeping driver and passengers comfortable. And every model comes factory-equipped with a towing package that includes Class IV hitch, 7-pin wire harness, and trailer sway control.

A long list of standard safety systems includes Toyota Safety Sense P, the Toyota Star Safety System, a backup camera, and eight air bags.

The Toyota Tacoma comes in three basic configurations: five-person Double Cab with five-foot bed, five-person Double Cab with six-foot bed, and four-person Access Cab with six-foot bed.
