i-FORCE Turbo Engine: Power That Makes a Difference
The Tacoma SR is standard with an i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbocharged engine that provides 228 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque. A more powerful version comes with higher trim levels and is available on the SR, boosting output to 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque.
The hybrid i-FORCE MAX system gives the 2026 Tacoma more power, but it doesn't give you a higher towing rating. The 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid system makes 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. Choose the TRD Sport, Limited, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro trims to include a hybrid powertrain.

Purpose-Driven Tire Options
Off-road tires are more rugged than those for daily drivers. They are built to grab onto the gravel, pulling every bit of traction they can. You can find off-road tires for the TRD Off-Road and TRD PreRunner trims, with even more capable tires equipped on the TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims. The Tacoma SR and SR5 include all-season tires that are not designed for off-roading.
Built for Trails and Towing
New Tacoma trim levels offer rear- and four-wheel drive. The TRD Off-Road, Limited, TRD Sport I-FORCE MAX, TRD Off-Road I-FORCE MAX, Limited I-FORCE MAX, and Trailhunter trims provide four-wheel drive on every trim. Optimize traction with the driver-selectable rear locking differential. Trailer sway control can improve your confidence while towing, especially with a trailer hitch and Class IV towing equipment.
