2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD

Description

"I needed a truck that could claw its way up a muddy access road in the morning and still feel civilized on the highway home – this Tacoma hasn’t missed a beat." That’s the kind of confidence this 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road inspires. Finished in head‑turning 08W2 Cavalry Blue, this pre-owned pickup blends proven durability, serious off-road hardware, and everyday comfort into a package that feels ready for work, weekends, and everything in between. Under the hood, you’ll find Toyota’s 3.5L V-6 DOHC engine with port/direct injection and variable valve control, delivering a responsive 278 horsepower on regular unleaded fuel. The engine is mounted longitudinally and paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and electronic control, including sequential shift capability for manual-style gear changes when you want more control.

Part-time four-wheel drive, an electronic transfer case, and a driver-selectable rear locking differential give you the traction and confidence you expect from the TRD Off Road nameplate. The Tacoma’s chassis is engineered for capability and stability. Independent double wishbone front suspension with coil springs and Bilstein shock absorbers works with a rigid rear axle and leaf springs to balance control and toughness. All-speed ABS with three-channel braking, brake assist, and four-wheel antilock control—ventilated front discs and rear drums—help manage stopping power even when the truck is loaded or the road surface is less than ideal. Hill start assist and brake-actuated limited slip differential further support you on steep or slick terrain. Protection and durability are clearly part of the design. Two underbody skid plates and fully galvanized steel body panels with side impact beams help shield vital components.

The exterior features a standard composite pickup box with integrated storage and a pickup bed rail system, making it easier to secure cargo and organize gear. An easy-lower tailgate, rear bumper step, and full-size steel spare with crank-down access add practical touches for real-world use. Visually, this Tacoma TRD Off Road stands out. The Cavalry Blue paint is complemented by body-coloured front and rear bumpers, body-coloured door handles and mirrors, black fender flares, and exterior decals that underscore its off-road identity. A chrome grille, black side window trim, and monotone paint presentation create a cohesive, purposeful look. Projector beam halogen headlights with LED daytime running lights, auto high beams, and auto-off functionality enhance visibility and convenience, while front fog lights and a high-mounted centre stop light contribute to safety and presence. Inside, the cabin is designed to be both durable and comfortable.

Premium cloth upholstery covers supportive bucket front seats with heating for both driver and passenger. The driver’s seat offers manual reclining and fore/aft adjustment with 4-way directional controls, mirrored on the front passenger side. In the rear, you’ll find a split-bench seat with 60/40 folding capability, flip-forward cushions, and three height-adjustable head restraints, allowing you to switch between passenger space and cargo flexibility with ease. Materials and details elevate the interior beyond basic truck fare. There’s a metal-look instrument panel insert, metal-look console trim, chrome and metal-look accents, a leather and metal-look steering wheel, and a leatherette shifter boot with a leather and metal-look gear shifter. Full carpet coverage with front and rear floor mats, cloth door inserts, and a cloth headliner give the cabin a cohesive, finished feel.

Storage is thoughtfully integrated, with a full floor console and covered storage, mini overhead console, locking glove box, door bins front and rear, rear door bins, rear under-seat tray, and a total of nine beverage holders. Comfort is further supported by automatic dual-zone climate control with a cabin air filter and rear under-seat ducts to help distribute airflow more evenly. Illuminated entry, fade interior courtesy lighting, front reading lights, an auto-dimming (day/night) rearview mirror, driver footrest, and retained accessory power contribute to the everyday usability that makes this Tacoma easy to live with. Technology and connectivity are well represented. A 7-inch primary touchscreen display anchors the infotainment system, backed by six speakers and an AM/FM/SiriusXM-capable audio unit with a three-month satellite radio trial (subscription required after trial).

You also get a dashboard-mounted single-disc CD player (CD-R compatible), auxiliary input jack, Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, voice-activated audio controls, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, speed-sensitive volume, an external memory interface, and an integrated roof-mounted antenna. Navigation and information are integrated directly into the system via an embedded navigation unit with voice activation, ensuring guidance even when your phone stays in your pocket. Two USB ports and two 12V power outlets keep devices charged, while an exterior 120V AC power outlet in the bed (0.400 kW) makes it easier to run tools or accessories on site or at the campsite. Driver assistance and safety tech are standout strengths. Toyota Safety Sense P includes a forward collision mitigation system with Pre-Collision System and Pedestrian Detection, plus Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist.

Vehicle Sway Warning offers a driver attention alert for added peace of mind on long drives. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control maintains a set distance to traffic ahead, reducing fatigue in varying highway conditions. A rear-mounted camera simplifies backing into tight spots or lining up with a trailer. Airbag coverage is extensive: eight airbags in total, including front impact airbags for driver and passenger, seat-mounted side airbags for both front occupants, curtain airbags for the first and second rows, and driver and passenger knee airbags. Seatbelt pretensioners up front, a rear centre 3-point belt, height-adjustable front seatbelts, and manual rear child safety door locks round out the occupant protection features. An airbag occupancy sensor ensures that systems deploy appropriately. Security and convenience features are integrated thoughtfully.

The Smart Key system offers hands-free access and push-button start, along with keyfob keyless entry and auto-locking doors. Power door locks provide two-stage unlocking, and the tailgate can be locked via the power door lock system. An immobilizer and security system help deter unauthorized use, while a remote panic alarm adds an extra layer of reassurance. Instrumentation is clear and comprehensive, with analog gauges for speed and engine revs, an engine temperature gauge, and a suite of warning indicators including low tire pressure, battery charge, oil level, fuel, washer fluid, and brake fluid alerts. There are reminders for key-in-vehicle and door-ajar conditions, an oil pressure warning, service interval indicator, trip odometer, digital clock, compass, and exterior temperature display, all managed through a trip computer to help you stay informed at a glance. On the utility side, this Tacoma is engineered to work.

A Class IV tow rating, trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and trailer sway control make it a serious towing partner within its rated capacity. The pickup bed rail system and integrated box storage help secure cargo, and the stainless steel single exhaust contributes to long-term durability. The power rear window and deep-tinted glass improve airflow options and cabin privacy, while variable intermittent wipers maintain visibility in changing weather. Rolling stock consists of 16 x 7-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents, wrapped in P265/70SR16 all-terrain black sidewall tires, balancing off-road readiness with everyday drivability. Auto-locking hub control, front tow hook, and a front licence plate bracket complete the truck’s ready-for-anything stance. With 133,056 kilometres on the odometer, this 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road has proven it can be driven and enjoyed, while its thoughtful blend of off-road capability, safety technology, and interior comfort make it an appealing choice for buyers who want a pickup that’s as competent as it is composed.
