Fresh for 2026, this New Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Double Cab 8A takes the brand’s legendary midsize pickup formula and injects it with modern tech, turbocharged power, and the kind of connectivity that makes daily driving and weekend hauling feel equally effortless. Finished in striking 01J9 Celestial Silver Metallic, it balances rugged truck capability with a refined, contemporary presence on the road. Under the hood, the i-FORCE 2.4L I-4 DOHC intercooled turbo engine with port/direct injection delivers an impressive 278 horsepower while running on regular unleaded fuel, pairing strong performance with practical operating costs. The engine’s aluminum block and cylinder head, variable valve control, and engine oil cooler are designed for durability and efficiency. Power is routed through an 8-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, lock-up, and electronic control, giving you smooth, confident shifts whether you’re commuting or towing.

Part-time Four Wheel Drive with a Two-Speed Transfer Case and auto locking hub control adds serious traction when conditions demand it, while Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) helps keep starts on steep grades controlled. This Tacoma is built on a Four Wheel Drive platform with a multi-link rear suspension and independent double wishbone front suspension, supported by gas-pressurized shock absorbers and ventilated disc brakes at all four corners. All-speed ABS, four-channel ABS, and electronic stability control all work together to enhance control in challenging situations. The Class IV tow rating, trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and trailer sway control equip this truck for real-world hauling, from work trailers to weekend toys. Where this 2026 Tacoma truly stands out is in its in-cab technology, especially its integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The 8-inch primary touchscreen display serves as the central hub for a connected driving experience. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring allows you to bring your favorite apps, navigation, messaging, and music into the cabin with minimal distraction and no need for tangled cords. Apple iPhone® users can take advantage of familiar CarPlay interfaces to access Maps, Messages, Podcasts, and more directly on the Tacoma’s display, using voice or steering wheel controls. Android users benefit from Android Auto’s intuitive layout, seamless Google Maps or Waze integration, and quick access to calls and media, again without the hassle of plugging in. Bluetooth wireless audio streaming and Bluetooth handsfree connectivity round out the system, ensuring calls and audio are clear and convenient.

The Toyota Assistant built-in virtual assistant works hand-in-hand with these systems so you can keep hands on the wheel while adjusting audio, asking for directions, or managing select vehicle functions. With six speakers, speed-sensitive volume control, and integrated roof antenna, the audio experience is well-balanced for everyday listening. Connected Services by Toyota play an important role here too. SafetyConnect® provides a vehicle-integrated emergency SOS system and vehicle tracker, while Service Connect helps you stay informed about maintenance needs with service interval indicators. Over the air updates and Toyota App mobile app access keep the truck’s software and select features current, and smart device remote start via the app allows you to prepare the cabin before you get in. Inside, this Double Cab emphasizes comfort and everyday usability.

Bucket front seats are heated for both driver and passenger, with the driver’s seat featuring 6-way controls and 2-way power lumbar support for tailored comfort. The front passenger seat also offers 6-way adjustability. Cloth upholstery, cloth door trim inserts, and a full cloth headliner create a clean, functional environment, while metal-look accents on the instrument panel and door panels add a subtle upscale touch. The rear split-bench offers 60/40 folding functionality, flip-forward cushions, and rear under-seat tray storage, allowing you to quickly adapt the cabin for cargo or passengers. Practical touches are found throughout: a full floor console with covered storage, locking glove box, 12 beverage holders, door bins front and rear, and rear beverage holders ensure space for small items and drinks.

Rubber front and rear floor mats help contain dirt and debris, especially useful after a muddy jobsite or trail. Driving information is easy to digest thanks to a configurable instrumentation cluster with a 7.00-inch gauge display. You’ll find a redundant digital speedometer, tachometer, trip computer, exterior temperature display, compass, and multiple warning systems for low fuel, oil, battery charge, washer fluid, and brake fluid. The retained accessory power feature along with multiple 12V power outlets and two USB ports support your devices on the go. Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) is a centerpiece of this pickup’s safety profile, working alongside an impressive suite of additional technologies. Pre-Collision System w/Brake Assist helps provide predictive braking support; Lane Departure Alert (LDA) w/Steering Assist and Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) contribute to keeping the truck centered in its lane, particularly during longer drives.

Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management can automatically slow in curves, reducing the need for frequent manual adjustments. Proactive Driving Assist – including Deceleration Assist and Obstacle Anticipation Assist – adds another layer of support, particularly in traffic. Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) provide added awareness when changing lanes or backing out of parking spaces. Road Sign Assist (RSA) helps keep you informed of key signs you may have missed. A rear mounted camera makes parking and hitching a trailer easier, while eight airbags, including front knee airbags and curtain airbags for both rows, offer strong occupant protection. From an exterior perspective, the Tacoma presents a purposeful, modern look. The 01J9 Celestial Silver Metallic paint is complemented by body-coloured front and rear bumpers, body-coloured fender flares, and body-coloured door mirrors and handles, contrasted by a black grille, black window trim, and black rub strips on the bumpers.

LED low and high beam projector headlights with auto on/off function, LED daytime running lights, LED brake lights, and an LED cab-mounted cargo light enhance visibility and style. Auto high-beam headlights further simplify night driving. The standard composite style pickup box is paired with an easy-lower tailgate, rear bumper step, and pickup bed rail system, making loading and unloading more manageable. A compact steel spare tire with crank-down mechanism is mounted for easy access. 17 x 7-inch silver aluminum wheels wrapped in P245/70SR17 all-season tires strike a balance between everyday comfort and light-duty off-road confidence. Comfort and control features extend to daily driving. Power windows with one-touch up/down for both rows, power door locks with auto-locking, Smart Key with hands-free access and push button start, and keyfob keyless entry make entry and exit convenient.

The urethane steering wheel offers both tilt and telescopic manual adjustment, with integrated audio and cruise controls that allow drivers to adjust settings without taking hands off the wheel. Manual climate control with a cabin air filter and rear under-seat ducts keeps air distribution consistent for both front and rear passengers. Security and peace of mind are further supported by an immobilizer, security system, manual rear child safety locks, tire-specific low-pressure warning, automatic brake hold, and a remote panic alarm. Level 2 partial automation capabilities help support the driver during select driving conditions, emphasizing assistance rather than replacement of driver responsibility. With only 3 kilometers on the odometer and fuel economy ratings of approximately 12.5 L/100 km in the city and 9.6 L/100 km on the highway, this 2026 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 Double Cab 8A blends turbocharged capability, advanced active safety, and standout Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration into a single, highly usable pickup package.

For drivers who want traditional truck strength backed by modern tech and thoughtful design, this new Tacoma presents a compelling choice.
