There's no shortage of used pickup trucks on the market, but there are several key benefits that make the Toyota Tacoma a particularly attractive buy.
A key benefit of the Tacoma's powertrain is the 4x4 option that's offered as standard for many model years, making this pickup a genuine off-road contender as well as a powerful pavement performer. Depending on the model year, you can expect to see engines similar to 2020's 3.5L V6 which delivers a beefy 278 horsepower and 265lb-ft of torque. This output is ample for a mid-size pickup, and the Tacoma shows a pleasingly responsive amount of acceleration along with smooth confidence at higher speeds.
In most cases, the power will be passed to the 4x4 via a silky six-speed automatic transmission, but if you prefer a more hands-on feel, it's worth looking for a model with the six-speed manual gearbox that's available as an option in many model years.
Capability is a vital part of any used pickup, and the Tacoma delivers a solid workhorse performance for your daily tasks. The maximum payload capacity of 450kg is about what you'd expect from a mid-size truck, but the towing capacity of up to 2,860kg is an impressive figure for this market, helped along by the factory-installed hitch supplied as standard.
There's little point enjoying the Tacoma's impressive performance and towing capabilities if it costs a fortune to fill up at the gas station. Thankfully, recent models of the Tacoma offer some very appealing fuel economy ratings. For example, the 2020 model boasts a frugal highway figure of just 10.6L / 100km, and while the city performance is a little thirstier at 12.7L, it's still a highly efficient and affordable pickup to drive.
Lastly, the Toyota Tacoma is equipped with an extensive suite of active safety systems, particularly on later models. Key highlights include lane departure warnings with corrective steering assistance, blind spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera system, and much more.
Whether you're looking for a high-powered, recent Tacoma that's as good as new, or an older model offering exceptional value for money, you'll find it in our Ontario inventory of used Tacoma trucks for sale.
