car_truck"It’s the rare pickup that can scramble up a rutted trail in the morning and glide through the evening commute with equal poise," observed one seasoned off-road tester—an apt summary of this new 2025 Toyota Tacoma in Underground. Built on a foundation that favors agility and strength, this Four Wheel Drive midsize truck pairs a confident stance with smart technology and finely tuned road manners, delivering a driving experience that feels both tough and thoughtfully refined.
Under the hood, the i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder delivers brisk response and impressive mid-range pull, channeled through an 8‑speed automatic that shifts with unobtrusive precision. Part-time 4WD with a two‑speed transfer case, a driver‑selectable rear locking differential, and terrain-focused drive modes equip this Tacoma to handle changing surfaces without drama, while Bilstein shocks, a multi-link rear setup, and thoughtfully calibrated power steering make it composed on pavement and controlled in the rough.
Crawl Control (CRAWL) and Downhill Assist Control add low-speed confidence where traction is at a premium.
The Underground finish, black grille and fender accents, and LED lighting create a purposeful look that’s more than style; there’s functional hardware here, from the skid plate to the easy-lower tailgate and composite bed with rail system. A Class IV tow rating, integrated trailer brake controller, Trailer Sway Control, and Straight Path Assist support confident hauling, and the sliding rear window brings welcome airflow on warm days.
Inside, the cabin blends durability and comfort with SofTex-trimmed seating, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control. Front passengers benefit from supportive adjustability, while the rear split bench adapts quickly to cargo. The centerpiece is a large Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen that responds quickly and pairs seamlessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; JBL audio brings clear, rich sound, and the Toyota Assistant voice interface helps keep eyes on the road.
Wireless charging, multiple USB ports, and 120V power outlets make this a rolling workspace as much as a weekend basecamp. A digital gauge cluster presents key information with sharp clarity, and panoramic and multi-terrain camera views simplify tight maneuvers.
Safety is deeply integrated, led by Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 with features that help watch for cross traffic, assist with lane centering, and manage speed more smoothly in traffic. The Star Safety System™ and SafetyConnect® provide added peace of mind, while parking sensors with automatic braking make close-quarters tasks feel stress-free.
With only delivery mileage, this new Tacoma combines modern control with proven grit. Whether you’re threading through the city or tracing an unmarked trail, it’s engineered to feel unflappable, capable, and unmistakably Toyota.
