Toyota has made some welcome changes to the new Tacoma, including a larger engine and an updated suspension system. The 2-liter Atkinson cycle engine delivers a combined 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. The new frame is lighter and stronger than ever before, which means better handling when you’re taking sharp turns or doing other high-performance maneuvers. A rigid front cross member puts more strength where it’s needed most. The Tacoma also comes equipped with a multi-link rear suspension that makes it easier to control the body roll in turns and keeps the ride smooth. It includes a unique electric power steering system that gives you more precise control and better maneuverability.
The 2014 Toyota Tacoma is a midsize pickup that provides a high degree of comfort, generous amounts of safety features, and an overall sense of quality. Some of the key attributes that have made this truck so popular with drivers include:
-Available in Regular Cab, Access Cab, and Double Cab configurations
-Up to 172 horsepower and 278 foot-pounds of torque
-Four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive
-Standard 4.0L V6 engine
-Eight regular seats or a maximum of five captain’s chairs (Access Cab)
