Able to handle worksite, highway, and off-road conditions with equal ease, it’s no surprise that the Tacoma is one of the most popular pickups in Canada today. The 2022 model builds on the high standards set by previous years, and here are the key highlights you could enjoy by booking a test drive.

Power Under the Hood

All Canadian trims of the 2022 Toyota Tacoma are built around the same powerful engine, with a 3.5L V6 making a healthy 278 horsepower and 265lb-ft of torque. The powertrain is completed by a choice of a six-speed manual transmission or six-speed automatic, feeding all-wheel drive on every model. The result is a smooth and confident drive with the power to handle all typical mid-size truck duties without breaking sweat.

Towing Capacity

The substantial power under the hood means the 2022 Tacoma has an impressive towing capacity, adding to its versatility in everyday use. All automatic transmission models can haul up to 2,948kg thanks to the Class IV hitch that’s included as standard, with trailer sway control adding to the control and comfort of your drive.

Cab and Bed Formats

The 2022 Tacoma is available in two four-door cab formats. At the entry level, the Access Cab seats up to four, with the second row reachable through small, backward-opening rear doors. The Double Cab also seats four but much more spaciously, and also features full-size forward-opening doors at the rear.

To complete the format options, there’s a choice of regular and extended wheelbases, providing cargo bed lengths of 153.7cm and 187.2cm respectively.

Go Off-Road with the TRD Pro Series Package

And while the 2022 Tacoma’s substantial power and heft make it a match for all driving conditions, dedicated off-road devotees will surely appreciate the TRD Pro Series package. This option takes the standard Tacoma specifications and adds trail-friendly features including:

– Tuned front coil and rear leaf spring suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers to handle the most challenging terrains
– Higher ground clearance with a 28mm front and 13mm rear suspension lift
– All-new black wheels with increased track width for greater traction and stability
– Crawl control with multi-terrain select
– Locking rear differential

High-End Interior Comfort and Technology

The level of comfort in the Tacoma cab sets it apart from most other mid-size trucks, with a slew of enviable standard features including heated front seats, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

The superior standards continue into the technology department, with all models featuring a 4.2” TFT multifunction display for essential driving information, backed up by an 8” colour touchscreen for infotainment. Navigation is included on every model, complete with traffic and weather updates, while smartphone integration is handled by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Advanced Safety Systems

Lastly, every Tacoma is also supplied with the Toyota Safety Sense system, with active technologies including:

– Pre-collision system with emergency braking
– Radar-based dynamic cruise control
– Lane departure alerts
– Automatic high beams

Higher trims also add options including a blind spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alerts, rounding out the already impressive standard package.
