The 2026 Toyota Tacoma offers the rugged capability you need in a mid-size pickup truck, with robust payload and towing capacities across its wide range of trims and configurations. Whether you're a contractor in Lafayette, LA hauling equipment to the job site or an off-road adventurer in Youngsville, LA looking to bring along all your gear, the new Toyota Tacoma has the muscle to handle your toughest tasks.
Under the hood, the Toyota Tacoma comes equipped with a potent 2.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that churns out up to 278 horsepower. This stout powertrain pairs with your choice of an 8-speed automatic transmission with Electronically Controlled Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i), Sequential Shift Mode and Uphill/Downhill Shift Logic, or a 6-speed manual transmission with Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT2), Automatic Rev-Matching, and Anti-Stall Technology.
When properly equipped, the Toyota Tacoma can tow up to 6,800 pounds, letting you confidently pull a boat out to Lake Fausse Pointe near New Iberia, LA for a weekend fishing trip. Its payload capacity tops out at 1,685 pounds, providing ample strength for loading up the bed with lumber, tools, or off-road toys.
The Toyota Tacoma also offers two versatile bed lengths to suit your needs. Go with the standard 5-foot bed on Double Cab models for easier maneuverability on the trails outside Opelousas, LA, or opt for the spacious 6-foot bed on Access Cab configurations to maximize cargo room for your supplies and equipment.
Inside the rugged yet refined cabin, the Toyota Tacoma treats you to available amenities like dual zone automatic climate control, leather-trimmed seating, a panoramic moonroof, and an 14" touchscreen infotainment system with 10 JBL speakers for premium audio out on the trail.
