car_truckDawn breaks over the job site and the light catches a Super White profile that looks ready for whatever the day throws at it. This 2026 Toyota Tacoma HYBRID Pickup isn’t just another truck in the lineup—it’s a technologically advanced, off-road-capable, hybrid workhorse built to handle tough conditions while keeping you seamlessly connected.
Inside the Tacoma’s quiet, well-insulated cabin, the first thing that grabs your attention is the expansive 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen at the centre of the dash. From here, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto become the heart of your day-to-day driving experience. Wireless Apple CarPlay lets iPhone users bring their own ecosystem directly into the truck: navigation, messages, calls, audiobooks, and playlists appear in crisp, tablet-like clarity, all controlled through the responsive touchscreen, steering wheel controls, or simple voice commands.
The system is tuned to minimize distraction, so switching between apps or responding to messages feels natural and intuitive.
Android users enjoy equally deep integration with wireless Android Auto. Plug-free connectivity means your phone can stay in your pocket or rest on the Qi wireless charging pad while Google Maps, Waze, Spotify, podcasts, and more show up in a clean, customizable interface. Voice-activated access to Google Assistant allows you to dictate messages, request directions, or adjust media on the fly, helping you keep your hands on the leather steering wheel and your attention on the road. Whether you’re moving between job sites or exploring a new trail, both platforms work with Drive Connect’s Cloud Navigation and real-time traffic to keep you better informed and on time.
JBL speakers, a dedicated amplifier, a digital signal processor, and speed-sensitive volume control work together to make the most of your Apple CarPlay and Android Auto content.
Music, navigation prompts, and calls are reproduced with clarity throughout the cabin, supporting everything from work calls to weekend playlists. The integrated Toyota Assistant built-in virtual assistant further enhances the experience, allowing natural language commands for many in-vehicle functions.
Under the hood, the i-FORCE MAX 2.4L I-4 hybrid powertrain with intercooled turbocharging delivers 278 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission featuring sequential shift control. The hybrid system’s nickel metal hydride battery, regenerative braking, and hybrid electric motor starter/alternator are engineered for confident performance and improved efficiency, with city ratings of 10.5 L/100 km and 9.9 L/100 km on the highway (manufacturer estimates). Drive Mode Select and selectable terrain modes, along with part-time 4WD, Two-Speed Transfer Case, Crawl Control (CRAWL), and a driver-selectable rear locking differential, give this Tacoma serious off-road and towing credentials, complemented by a Class IV tow rating, trailer brake controller, Trailer Sway Control, and Straight Path Assist.
Comfort and refinement have not been overlooked.
Heated and ventilated front bucket seats trimmed in SofTex leatherette provide eight-way power adjustment for both driver and passenger, each with four-way power lumbar support. Dual-zone automatic climate control with rear ducts, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Digital Rearview Mirror, head-up display, and a full digital/analog instrumentation layout with a 12.30-inch gauge cluster screen create a modern, high-tech driving environment. A sliding and tilting glass sunroof with sunshade and express open/close adds fresh air and natural light.
The cabin is thoughtfully organized with a full floor console, covered storage, locking glove box, multiple door bins, and a total of 12 beverage holders. Materials such as SofTex leatherette seating, simulated stone accents, and metal-look trim elevate the interior without sacrificing durability. Power front and rear windows with one-touch up/down, laminated side glass, and rubber floor mats contribute to everyday practicality.
On the safety front, this Tacoma is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, including forward collision mitigation with left turn assist, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and automatic high-beam headlights.
Additional driver assistance technologies include Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Front and Rear Parking Sensors, Panoramic View Monitor, Multi-Terrain Monitor, and SafetyConnect emergency SOS and vehicle tracker. Hill Start Assist Control and Downhill Assist Control give you more confidence on steep grades.
The exterior is purpose-built and rugged, featuring 18-inch bronze aluminum wheels with P265/70R18 A/T tires, black fender flares, a sport bar over the composite pickup bed, power running boards, underbody skid plates, LED low/high beam headlights, LED fog lights, and a full-size spare tire. Practical touches such as an easy-lower tailgate with power lock, rear bumper step, pickup bed rail system, built-in air compressor, roof rails, and a full roof rack ensure this truck is as functional as it looks.
Connected services including Remote Connect Digital Key, smart device-as-key functionality, Service Connect, the Toyota App, over-the-air updates, and multiple 120V AC outlets (interior and exterior) make the 2026 Toyota Tacoma HYBRID a modern tool for work and play.
With only 3 kilometres on the odometer and a Super White finish, this Four Wheel Drive pickup is ready to be configured around your digital life, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto at the centre of every drive.
