That spirit is exactly what this Pre-Owned 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Premium embodies—a midsize pickup that trades flash for finely honed capability and the kind of analog involvement enthusiasts crave.
Finished in 0040 Super White, this Tacoma pairs a 3.5L V6 (278 hp) with a proper 6-speed manual, so every climb, crawl, and pass is your decision, not a computer’s guess. Part-time 4WD with an electronic transfer case underpins its trail credentials, complemented by an underbody skid plate for peace of mind when the route stops pretending to be a road. A Class IV tow rating broadens its weekend repertoire, while a trailer hitch and integrated sway control bring composure when the load gets lively.
Toyota tunes the chassis for real-world terrain: a double-wishbone front end, leaf-spring rear, and gas-pressurized shocks deliver a firm, controlled stride on washboard tracks and a settled demeanor on the highway.
Brake-actuated limited-slip logic helps pull you through ruts when traction thins, and hill-start assist keeps starts smooth on steep grades. Machined 17-inch alloys wearing all-season rubber strike a smart balance between daily drivability and dirt-road readiness.
Inside, the TRD Off-Road Premium badge means comfort doesn’t ride in the back. Leather seating with heat up front, dual-zone climate control, and a sunroof elevate long-distance days. An 8-inch touchscreen with integrated navigation anchors the cabin, bolstered by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless phone integration, while wireless charging and multiple power points (including a 120V AC outlet) keep gear alive. Safety tech is equally thorough: Toyota Safety Sense P brings pre-collision with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, and high-speed radar cruise; blind spot monitoring and a rear camera expand situational awareness without numbing driver engagement.
Practicality is built in, not bolted on.
The composite pickup box resists dents and rust, the easy-lowering tailgate makes loading a one-hand job, and an adjustable bed rail system organizes tools, coolers, and recovery gear with uncanny versatility. Inside, the 60/40 split rear bench flips to reveal hidden storage, rubber mats handle mud with good humor, and thoughtful touches—auto-dimming mirror, auto high beams, and smart-key access—quietly tidy daily life.
Showing 96,404 kilometers, this Tacoma presents as the dependable partner it’s known to be. Low-emissions certification underscores its modern engineering, while Toyota’s Safety Connect and Service Connect add a reassuring lifeline and maintenance insight. In an era of endless drive modes and distracted driving, this truck’s defining feature is focus: a manual gearbox, honest 4x4 hardware, and a cabin that supports the journey without stealing the show.
For drivers who prefer the trail to tell the story and the truck to translate it faithfully, this TRD Off-Road Premium speaks fluently.
