Tough, versatile, and unshakable, the 2025 Toyota Tacoma is built to stand out on and off the road. Toyota offers it in a range of trims, each designed to handle different challenges.

1. SR

The base SR model is the Tacoma in its purest form: rugged, reliable, and ready to work. It’s available with either a manual or auto transmission, allowing you to choose between complete control and convenience.

Both use a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine under the hood, but Toyota tunes them differently. The manual version gets the brawnier setup, cranking out 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The automatic, on the other hand, is de-tuned to 228 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque.

2. SR5

The SR5 is strictly automatic and comes tuned to deliver 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. It adds a bit of its magic, including LED fog lights, a push-button start, and blind spot monitoring, but what really stands out are the options. You can add everything from heated seats to automatic climate control to a leather-trimmed heated steering wheel.

3. TRD PreRunner

The TRD PreRunner is for those who like their roads a little less traveled. You get goodies like a front suspension lift, electronically controlled rear lockers, underbody fuel tank protection, a front stabilizer, and 32-inch all-terrain tires.

4. TRD Sport

Next, we have the TRD Sport, which unlocks the sporty side of the Tacoma. It features sport-tuned twin-tube shocks, eye-catching sporty wheels, and a part-time 4WD system. And just to make it even more fun, it’s got a 6-speed manual transmission.

5. TRD Off-Road

You can think of the TRD Off-Road as the next rung-up in the off-road hierarchy, with the TRD PreRunner being the first. Some of the standard and available upgrades include more underbody protection, a rear stabilizer, a stabilizer disconnect mechanism, and crawl control, which takes over acceleration and braking to help you navigate difficult terrain.

6. Limited

For maximum comfort and excellent on-road manners, the Limited has you covered. Highlights here include adaptive variable suspension, a softex-trimmed interior, a larger infotainment display, a ten-speaker JBL audio system, power-extending running boards, a moonroof, a head-up display, and ventilated front seats.

7. Trailhunter

The hybrid-only Trailhunter upgrades the TRD Off-Road model with Old Man Emu 2.5-inch monotube position-sensitive shocks, high-clearance front bumpers, high-strength underbody protection, rock rails, 33-inch rugged-terrain tires, and recovery hooks.

8. TRD Pro

If only the best will do, the TRD Pro, which is also hybrid-only, is your Tacoma. Expect top-tier creature comforts and heavy-duty gear like 2.5-inch Fox Internal Bypass QS3 shocks and performance front seats.
