2015 Toyota Tacoma

The 2015 Toyota Tacoma inherits legendary Toyota Truck heritage, helping it to earn it the Best Retained Value Award from Canadian Black Book for 5 consecutive years. With 4x2 and 4x4, Access and DoubleCab, and manual and automatic transmission options, there’s a Tacoma waiting for you to take it for a ride.









4-Cylinder

Tacoma's powerful and efficient 2.7L 16-Valve DOHC4-Cylinder engine generates a sturdy 159 horsepower while cranking out 180 lbs.-ft. of torque — smoothly deployed by Toyota's advanced Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i).

V6 Power

For V6 Models, a 4.0L DOHC Engine offers a burly 236 Horsepower, while pounding out 266 lbs.-ft. of trail-tacklingtorque — kept in check by Toyota's Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i). That’s one more reason that all Tacoma engines boast a Tier2 Bin5 Emissions Rating.


All models feature a Limited Slip Differential that works to maintain the equal distribution of torque between the rear wheels, helping to minimize slippage if one or more tires lose traction.4X4 Access Cab V6 models offer an optional Rear Differential Lock providing maximum low-speedtraction by locking the rear differential, helping to deliver equal torque to each wheel and preventing rear wheel slippage (TRD Offroad Package).

ETCS-i

4x4 Tacoma engines also feature an Electronic Throttle Control System with Intelligence (ETCS-i) which results in the optimal amount of throttle for anysituation-enhancing response, increasing fuel efficiency and reducing maintenance.

Transmission

On V6 models, Tacoma offers a finely tuned 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic with Overdrive. The automatic transmission employs a Super Electronically Controlled Transmission (Super ECT) that works to help eliminate "gear-hunting" on uphill grades. 4-Cylinder models are equipped with a rapid-fire 5-speed manual, or4-speed automatic with Overdrive.

Towing

Hitch up and hit the road with Tacoma's towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. (1,587 kg). Add the 4X4's SR5 and TRD Offroad Packages (Access Cab V6) and SR5, TRD Sport Packages and Limited (Double Cab models) and increase the load to a whopping 6,500 lbs. (2,948 kg — manual), 6,400 lbs. (2,903 kg — automatic).

Suspension

Up front, Tacoma's reliable Independent Double Wishbone Type Suspension employs Coil Springs, Gas Shocks and a Front Stabilizer Bar to keep turns flat and tight, while in the rear, Leaf Springs and Bias Mounted Gas Shocks provide a responsive, level ride. To help tame tougher terrain, the 4x4 models add available Bilstein® Shocks Front and Rear (TRD Offroad and TRD Sport Packages).

Advanced Control

As part of Toyota's Star Safety™ System, all Tacoma models feature the advanced command delivered by Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control — helping to handle slippery conditions on- or off-road. 4x4 Access Cab V6 models equipped with the TRD Offroad Package add Active Traction Control.

TRD Offroad Package

For those bored by the beaten path, Tacoma's 4X4 TRD Offroad Package offers a stack of trail-blazing features, including an Upgraded Alternator, Front Skid Plate, and a 400-Watt (120V) Cargo Bed Power Outlet.
