Grab the Keys, Let's Go! Explore California in style with a new Toyota.If you’ve been searching for a Toyota Tacoma for sale, 2025 might be the perfect year to make your move. This legendary midsize truck continues to dominate its segment with rugged styling, innovative upgrades, and a level of versatility that few competitors can match. Whether you’re navigating mountain trails, towing a trailer, or simply heading to work, the 2025 Tacoma delivers the performance, tech, and comfort today’s drivers demand.

Let’s explore what makes the new Tacoma a standout choice and why now’s the time to experience it for yourself.

 

Built for the Bold: What’s New in 2025

The 2025 Toyota Tacoma builds on the major redesign introduced just a year ago, refining its look and capabilities to meet the needs of modern drivers. Key updates include:

  • New ‘Mudbath’ Exterior Paint: A bold, earthy tone offered exclusively on the TRD Pro trim, adding visual punch to an already aggressive design. 
  • Red Front Tow Hooks: Standard on TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims, these hooks blend function with rugged style for serious off-road recovery. 
  • Fourth Auxiliary Switch: Pre-wired and ready for adventure, this addition simplifies the installation of winches, light bars, or compressors—perfect for aftermarket customization. 

These subtle yet impactful changes make the Tacoma even more trail-ready while preserving its everyday practicality.

 

Engineered to Perform in Every Environment

The 2025 Tacoma delivers serious power under the hood. Every trim is equipped with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but drivers can choose from multiple configurations depending on how much performance they crave.

  • Standard 2.4L Turbo Engine: Produces 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque, ideal for efficient daily driving. 
  • Enhanced 2.4L Turbo: Offers up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque with an automatic transmission—or 270 hp and 310 lb-ft with the available six-speed manual for driving purists. 
  • i-Force Max Hybrid Powertrain: Available on select trims, this hybrid setup churns out a combined 326 horsepower and an astonishing 465 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful midsize trucks on the road. 

Rear-wheel and four-wheel drive options are available across the lineup, and Toyota offers two suspension setups: leaf springs for rugged hauling and coil springs for enhanced ride comfort on higher trims. This thoughtful engineering ensures drivers enjoy a smooth, capable ride on everything from city streets to steep inclines.

 

Trim Levels for Every Lifestyle

Toyota offers the 2025 Tacoma in two cab configurations—XtraCab and Double Cab—paired with either a 5-foot or 6-foot bed. With eight distinctive trims, there’s a Tacoma for every kind of driver:

  • SR: A workhorse with LED headlights, steel wheels, trailer hitch, and a durable composite bed. 
  • SR5: Adds alloy wheels, blind-spot monitoring, and more tech-savvy touches. 
  • TRD PreRunner: Elevated suspension, locking rear differential, and off-road-ready features. 
  • TRD Sport: Sport-tuned suspension and a more refined interior with upgraded entertainment features. 
  • TRD Off-Road: Geared for rugged terrain with aggressive tires, dampers, and reinforced skid plates. 
  • Limited: Focuses on luxury with a panoramic roof, synthetic leather, power tailgate, and digital displays. 
  • TRD Pro: Designed for extreme conditions with 33-inch tires, IsoDynamic seats, custom bumpers, and trail-tested hardware. 
  • Trailhunter: Built for overlanding, this top-tier trim includes bronze wheels, rock rails, Old Man Emu suspension, and a modular utility bed system. 

Each trim is thoughtfully designed to serve different needs, from hard-working contractors to backcountry adventurers.

 

Interior Comfort Meets Advanced Connectivity

Inside, the Tacoma is surprisingly refined for a rugged truck. Across all trims, drivers benefit from thoughtful features and intuitive tech:

  • Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay 
  • Wireless phone charging 
  • Up to 14-inch infotainment touchscreen 
  • Heated and ventilated seats (available) 
  • Premium audio systems 
  • Digital instrument clusters and smart climate control 

Whether you’re heading to a worksite or a weekend getaway, the 2025 Tacoma offers the convenience and comfort modern drivers expect.

 

Safety Comes Standard

Toyota continues to lead the industry in driver-assistance technology, and the Tacoma is no exception. Every model includes the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite, featuring:

  • Pre-collision system with pedestrian detection 
  • Lane departure alert with steering assist 
  • Dynamic radar cruise control 
  • Road sign assist 

Higher trims add even more protection, including a surround-view camera, parking sensors, and trailer monitoring systems, giving drivers peace of mind on highways and mountain passes alike.
