2014 Toyota Tacoma

The Toyota Tacoma offers a sporty new SR appearance package for 2014, along with four levels of Entune audio. The backup camera display has been moved from the rearview mirror to the Entune head unit display. The Tacoma X-Runner sport truck is discontinued for 2014.

Entune Audio leverages the user's mobile smartphone to provide a richer in-vehicle experience with fully integrated access to navigation, entertainment and information services.

The new SR Package, available for the Tacoma PreRunner and 4x4 Access Cab and Double Cab base grade models, lends a sporty look with a color-keyed exterior appearance upgrade, including overfenders, door handles, bumpers, grille surround and mirrors with turn signals, plus smoked headlight lenses and a black finish 16-inch Baja wheel style.

The 2014 Tacoma configurations are based on three cab types: Regular Cab, Access Cab with rear seating, and the four-door Double Cab. The rear-opening doors on Access Cab models open to 80 degrees to give passengers easy ingress and egress.

The 2014 Tacoma model line offers two engines: a 2.7-liter Dual Overhead Cam four-cylinder that produces 159 horsepower and 180 lb.-ft. of torque, and a 4.0-liter V6 that provides 236 horsepower with 266 lb.-ft. of torque.

The V6 can be teamed with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. Four-cylinder models offer a choice between a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic transmission. When equipped with a V6 Tow Package, Access Cab models boast a maximum tow capacity of up to 6,500 pounds.

An Automatic Limited-slip Differential, which uses brake intervention to help reduce tire slippage at the rear wheels, is standard on all Tacoma models. The TRD Off-Road Package, available for 4x4 V6 automatic models, includes Hill-start Assist Control and Downhill Assist Control.
