2026 Toyota Tacoma Trims and Pricing
The 2026 Toyota Tacoma carries forward a midsize-truck formula built entirely around turbocharged efficiency — the V6 of past generations is gone. Every trim in the eight-model lineup runs a 2.4L turbocharged i-FORCE four-cylinder, tuned differently depending on grade. Questions about how each powertrain feels on the road? Our team is available at (714) 909-2159 to talk through the differences by grade.
2026 Tacoma Engine & Performance
In standard i-FORCE form, the turbo four produces up to 278 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, delivering responsive acceleration whether you’re merging onto the 405 or heading toward coastal Huntington Beach. The base SR is tuned to 228 hp and 243 lb-ft. For the most capability, the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain pairs the turbo four with an electric motor and an 8-speed automatic, lifting output to 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque — instant low-end torque that’s especially useful when crawling over obstacles or pulling a trailer.
| Configuration | Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SR (base gas) | 2.4L Turbo I4 | 228 hp | 243 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic (6-speed iMT available) |
| i-FORCE (gas, non-SR) | 2.4L Turbo I4 | Up to 278 hp | 317 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic (6-speed iMT on select trims) |
| i-FORCE MAX (hybrid) | 2.4L Turbo I4 Hybrid | Up to 326 hp | 465 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
Fuel Economy
The gas engine earns an EPA-estimated 20 city / 26 hwy mpg in its most efficient RWD configurations, while the Limited i-FORCE MAX reaches an EPA-estimated 23 city / 24 hwy mpg — competitive figures whether you’re handling an Irvine commute or a weekend trip.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

The Complete 2026 Toyota Tacoma Trim Lineup
The 2026 Tacoma is offered in eight trim levels, spanning work-ready basics to factory-built off-road rigs. The SR and SR5 form the foundation of the family. The TRD PreRunner revives the desert-runner formula with a front suspension lift and an electronically locking rear differential in a rear-wheel-drive layout. For driving enthusiasts, a 6-speed intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) remains available on the SR, TRD Sport, and TRD Off-Road in their Double Cab 4WD configurations — making the Tacoma the last midsize truck on the market you can still buy with three pedals.

At the top, the Trailhunter is the factory overlanding build with Old Man Emu 2.5-inch forged monotube shocks, while the TRD Pro is the high-speed desert truck with 2.5-inch FOX Internal Bypass QS3 shocks and IsoDynamic Performance front seats.

Standard Technology & Safety
The SR is the entry point into the lineup, and while it’s the base model, it’s far from bare — for 2026 a tow hitch is standard on SR XtraCab models. It runs the same 2.4L turbocharged i-FORCE four, tuned to 228 hp and 243 lb-ft in this grade, making it a dependable choice for small business owners and weekend haulers alike. Value in the SR also comes from standard technology and safety: every Tacoma includes Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 — with Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist — plus an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Starting TSRP for 2026 runs from $33,740 for the SR to $65,945 for the TRD Pro.
