The 2012 Toyota Tacoma belongs to the second generation of this popular compact to mid-size pickup truck. It offers two engine options: a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 159 horsepower and the more powerful 4.0-liter V6 with 236 horsepower. The Tacoma is available in both rear-wheel and four-wheel-drive configurations, and transmission options include a 5-speed manual, 4-speed automatic, 5-speed automatic, or 6-speed manual depending on the configuration. The truck comes in regular cab, Access Cab, and Double Cab trims that offer varying levels of cabin comfort and storage. Equipment includes basic safety features like stability control and front-seat side airbags, and for the infotainment, the higher trims offer a 6.1-inch touchscreen, smartphone integration, and a navigation system. For 2012, Toyota gave the Tacoma a marginal refresh, introducing a restyled front end and an updated interior.
