The 2026 Toyota Tacoma comes in eight trims at Tustin Toyota, from work-ready XtraCab models to a comfort-focused Limited and two factory off-road rigs. Every Tacoma uses a turbo 2.4-liter i-FORCE four-cylinder. The i-FORCE MAX hybrid is standard on Trailhunter and TRD Pro, and available on mid-range grades.
