Toyota Tacoma Towing Capacity
The Toyota Tacoma towing capacity and overall capability are among the model’s strongest traits. Whether for private or professional use around Worcester, Auburn, and Shrewsbury, MA, this truck is going to be reliable and tough. Just how much weight can you expect in the towing department? When properly equipped, the 2022 Tacoma can tow 6,800 pounds. That’s really just the tip of the iceberg for capability, though.
Our Harr Toyota team thought a brief overview of what the Tacoma is capable of would be a valuable resource for truck shoppers. So, the following is a layout of towing, payload, and other traits of the rock-solid Tacoma!
Maximum Towing Capacity and Payload for 2022 Tacoma
Courtesy of the 3.5L V6 and the available Tow Package, your 2022 Toyota Tacoma will have no trouble reaching 6,800 pounds of maximum towing capacity. Various technologies have been developed to help your truck and trailer remain stable as you drive, too. Trailer-Sway Control is a good example since it applies brake pressure to specific wheels as you go along. So, if your truck begins to slip or lose traction, power is redirected where it’s most needed.
So, what about payload? A truck has to be able to do more than tow. With the proper setup, your Tacoma can comfortably haul as much as 1,440 pounds of payload!
Capable in Any Scenario
The capability features and technologies of the Toyota Tacoma give the model a confidence you’ll immediately fall in love with. Let’s start with the standard electronically locking rear differential, a system which sends equal amounts of power to both rear wheels for enhanced traction.
Crawl Control is another traction-enhancing system. With it, your truck automatically modulates the brakes and throttle pressure to help you stay in control over rough terrain. This is especially useful when you’re moving along at low speeds.
The list of off-roading technologies grows from there:
- Available Bilstein® shocks
- Multi-Terrain Monitor
- Multi-Terrain Select system
- Hill Start Assist Control
The Multi-Terrain Select System allows you to choose from five specific drive modes. The mode you choose will alter throttle response, transmission behavior, and more.
Performance Options
The 2022 Toyota Tacoma offers a specific feature which is almost non-existent in midsize and full-size truck segments anymore: a manual transmission. The 6-speed manual is a splendid option if you prefer to do your own gear shifting rather than letting the standard 6-speed automatic handle it for you.
There are quite a few more options to choose for your Tacoma. The standard motor is a 2.7L that makes 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque, yet an available 3.5L V6 can be chosen as well. The V6 boasts 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque.
Then there’s the drivetrain. The standard setup is Rear-Wheel Drive with an Automatic Limited-Slip Differential. The available option is a 4WDemand part-time 4-wheel drive system with an electronically controlled transfer case.
