Real-Life Tacoma Uses
Off-Roading
The Tacoma is ready to conquer rocky roads and unpaved trails with ease. Built for off-roading, this truck comes with a hearty i-FORCE turbocharged 2.4-liter engine that can produce 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. For even more power, the available i-FORCE MAX turbocharged 2.4-liter hybrid powertrain ups these numbers to 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque.
Features for off-roading can be found throughout the range of Tacoma trims, but the Tacoma TRD Pro trim offers the most extreme off-roading components of all, such as:
- TRD-tuned FOX® suspension
- Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and Downhill Assist Control
- Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism
- Electronically controlled locking rear differential
- ARB® steel rear bumper with red-painted recovery points
- 4WDemand part-time 4-Wheel Drive
- Aluminum front skid plate with underbody transfer case and fuel tank protection
- 18-in. TRD Pro black alloy wheels
The Nashville area has numerous off-road trails where you can test the limits of your Tacoma, such as Old Mill Creek Road and the Tennessee Dirt Devil Trail.
Camping
Many Tacoma owners use their trucks for camping in Tennessee’s beautiful state parks. Numerous exterior features help make this happen, such as the Tacoma’s available deck rail system with four adjustable tie-down cleats and four fixed cargo bed tie-down points. With the ability to attach a camper shell or rooftop tent, your truck becomes a mobile campsite.

Towing
The Tacoma has a towing capacity of up to 6,500 pounds,* making it more than capable of handling trailers and most recreational boats. Whether you're heading to Percy Priest Lake or Old Hickory Lake, the Tacoma will get you and your boat there safely.
Hauling and Moving
Need to move furniture or other large items? The Tacoma's spacious bed makes it ideal for hauling and moving tasks. This truck can handle a payload of up to 1,680 pounds (on the TRD Pro trim), and two bed lengths are offered: five- or six-foot.
Daily Commuting
Despite its rugged capabilities, the Toyota Tacoma is also a comfortable and efficient vehicle for daily commuting. It's a pleasure to drive in any situation, with available features such as heated front seats, leather upholstery, a power tilt/slide moonroof, and a 14-inch touchscreen display. Choose a Double Cab model if you plan to transport family and friends in your Tacoma, as these models seat up to five.
Stargazing
Imagine lying in the bed of your truck, gazing up at the stars on a clear night — sounds great, right? This could be your reality with the Tacoma. One of our favorite local spots for stargazing is Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. Despite being in the heart of Nashville, this park offers a surprising amount of open space and clear skies for stargazing.
Tailgating
Finally, if you’re a football fan, you probably have your eye on the Toyota Tacoma for tailgating. This truck is perfect for a day of fun with other Titans fans before a game. Hybrid models have a 2400W onboard AC inverter^ which sends power to the bed and the cabin, so if you need access to an outlet, you’ll have one handy. An available power open-and-close tailgate makes it easy to load and unload your cooler and chairs. To get the party started with some music, just use the Tacoma’s available 10-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system. It comes with a removable speaker that you can take outside the truck’s cabin for crystal-clear music while you grill.
