Upgraded TRD Pro models headline Toyota’s range of powerful and capable compact pick-up trucks

2019 Tacoma TRD Pro

 

TORONTO, ON – October 9th, 2018 – The Toyota Tacoma is the legend – built on more than 80 years of creating trucks designed to conquer the harshest terrain and weather on the planet. And for 2019, Toyota offers the popular pick-up truck in a range of models and trim levels, highlighted by an enhanced pair of Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro editions that are more capable than ever. So what are you waiting for?

“With the 2019 Tacoma, Toyota is ready to help Canadian truck fans write the next chapter in the adventure that is their lives,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. “The Tacoma combines remarkable performance with impressive comfort, amenities and technologies, plus industry-leading safety systems to make sure it’s ready for anything – including hauling gear, towing a trailer or taming trails.”

A great pick-up truck starts with performance – and in the Tacoma, that means a powerful, responsive and efficient powertrain. Most Tacoma models are built around Toyota’s proven 3.5L V6 engine. This engine delivers up to 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, and is outfitted with a long list of advanced technologies to maximize power and efficiency while minimizing emissions. All models with the 3.5L engine are also standard equipped with a Class IV weight distribution tow hitch, 7-pin wiring harness, and Trailer Sway Control technology. For those seeking maximum fuel efficiency, some models are built around a 2.7L four-cylinder engine that generates up to 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque.

Depending on model, the Tacoma features either a six-speed manual transmission or six-speed automatic super electronically controlled transmission with lock-up torque converter. 4×2 models are driven on the rear axle, while 4×4 models feature on-demand one-touch 4×4 systems, with an auto limited slip rear differential, two-speed transfer case, and automatic disconnecting differential.

Tacoma’s athletic styling gives it immediate curb appeal, with a sculpted front bumper, smooth rear deck, integrated tailgate spoiler, and double-walled composite cargo bed.

Inside, the Tacoma cabin is spacious and features many standard amenities to make it a comfortable place to spend long days on the road or trail. New for 2019, all Tacoma models now include dual USB inputs on the audio system. Other standard features include a Display Audio system with touchscreen and steering wheel-mounted controls, Bluetooth® connectivity, a backup camera, GoPro mount, a multi-information display and plenty of thoughtful in-cabin storage.

The Tacoma is also the compact pick-up that delivers full-size safety: Every Tacoma is outfitted with Toyota Safety Sense P – an industry-leading bundle of active safety technologies included as standard equipment on 95 percent of all new vehicles Toyota sells in Canada. TSS P features the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, Automatic High Beams, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. These work together to enhance driver capabilities to mitigate collisions, stay in lane, and see at night. Other safety systems include the Toyota Star Safety System, eight airbags – including driver and front passenger knee airbags, and more.
