Toyota Revamps Bestselling Tacoma Pickup in Response to Growing Midsize Market
Staff Editor Toyota has been dominating the midsize pickup truck market since 2019 when Ford Motor and Jeep re-entered the market. The Japanese carmaker currently holds a 40% share of this segment, but with increased competition from other brands, Toyota is now redesigning its bestselling Tacoma pickup to stay ahead in the game.
The 2021 model of Tacoma will feature an all-new exterior design that combines ruggedness with sophistication. Its interior too has been redesigned to offer more comfort and convenience than ever before. It comes equipped with advanced safety features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning system, blind spot monitoring system, and rear cross-traffic alert for enhanced protection on roads.
Under its hood lies a 3.5L V6 engine that delivers 278 horsepower along with 265 lb.-ft torque for smooth acceleration even on challenging terrains or highways alike; while an available Atkinson cycle 2TR-FE 4-cylinder engine provides up to 159 horsepower and 180 lb.-ft torque making it perfect for everyday commutes or weekend getaways! With these updates under its belt, Toyota’s Tacoma is sure to remain at the top in America’s midsize pickup truck segment despite growing competition from other automakers!
