These include 4- and 6-cylinder powerplants, three different cab configurations, and regular or off-road driveline options. The Tacoma received a small refresh for 2009 that included a revised grille and several option changes.
The 2010 Toyota Tacoma is a carryover.Carryover for 2010The Toyota Tacoma is a midsize pickup truck. It's available in three cab sizes and several trim levels that allow the buyer to go with a very plain or a fully featured vehicle. The 2010 model carries over from the previous year.The 2010 Toyota Tacoma is offered with a regular cab that seats 3; extended or Access Cab (seats 4, with reverse-hinged rear doors), or Double Cab (standard 5-seat crew cab). Regular and Access Cab Tacoma models feature 6-foot pickup beds; the Double Cab has a 5-foot bed, with a 6-footer available. The entry-level trim offers almost no amenities besides a 4-speaker sound system, but various option packages are available to add climate control, cruise control, on- and off-road performance features, a towing package, and much more.Regular Cab Tacomas, and Access Cabs with 2-wheel drive (2WD), feature a 159-horsepower, 2.7-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway with 2WD and automatic transmission, 17/22 with 4-wheel drive (4WD) and manual transmission, according to the EPA.
(Two-wheel-drive models come with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel-drive Tacomas use only the manual transmission.) Tacoma Double Cabs, and Access Cabs with 4WD, feature a 236-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-6 engine, with standard 6-speed manual transmission. A 5-speed automatic transmission is standard on Tacoma PreRunner Double Cabs, and optional on other V-6 models. The V-6 engine with automatic transmission delivers 16 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway, or 14/18 with manual transmission.Standard safety features on the 2010 Toyota Tacoma include anti-lock brakes with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution, stability control, traction control, active front head restraints, front side air bags, and side curtain air bags. In government crash tests, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the Tacoma 5 (out of 5) stars across the board in front- and side-impact tests. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the Tacoma the highest-possible \"Good\" ratings in frontal-offset, rear-, and side-impact tests.
Starting MSRPs for the 2010 Toyota Tacoma ranged from $15,345 to $27,250. J.D.

Power:15 Toyota Tacoma Models Found Welcome to Toyota of Selma You have not saved any vehicles. You have no price alerts. You have not viewed any vehicles recently. New Car Test Drive The 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine makes 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque.
With rear-wheel drive, it only comes with the 5-speed automatic transmission, but the 5-speed manual is available with four-wheel drive. The 278-horsepower V6 is a happy-revving engine. With both direct injection and a variable intake system with a wide intake, it meets the Atkinson combustion cycle. Its 265 foot-pounds of torque work well with the 6-speed automatic, with its smooth upshifts and downshifts and excellent gear spacing. Ride quality is better than it used to be. The front suspension uses double wishbones with coil springs whose rates were softened for 2016 to improve the ride, along with a softening of the rear shocks. That shock tuning included tweaks to the rebound damping through changed valving, to improve control. The rigid chassis uses a steel ladder frame that’s closed with a crossmember in front, though not in back. The cabin structure uses high-strength steel with side beams. Four tunes of suspension mean four different flavors of ride quality and handling. The SR, SR5, and Limited get the standard suspension, TRD Sport models get a sportier suspension setup, while TRD Off Road models get a suspension designed for offroad, with more wheel travel and articulation.
The new TRD Pro gets heavy-duty Fox dampers. The Pro handles really well off road, while the traction and stability control are low-key enough to be effective without interfering under a broad range of conditions. The TRD models actually ride smoother on rough roads and gravel roads. TRD Off Road and TRD Pro models with the 6-speed automatic have Multi-Terrain Select, its dial located at the top of the windshield, presumably so an offroad charger can change modes without taking his eyes off the trail. The settings are Mud and Sand, Loose Rock, Moguls, Rock and Dirt, and Rock. The system affects a number of the truck’s dynamics, including throttle, and delivers the best theoretical traction for those conditions. For example, it allows a lot of wheelspin for Mud and Sand, but none for Rock. There’s also hill-start assist and crawl control, which takes over the throttle and brakes at speeds up to 5 mph, so the driver can not worry about traction and concentrate on just steering, around big rocks or logs.
Excellent sight lines from the cabin make them easier to see. The TRD Pro’s 16-inch alloy wheels are mounted with big Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires with Kevlar sidewall reinforcement. The wheels are smaller than standard, leaving room for more sidewall, which is needed in very rugged terrain. That’s where the thick skidplates come in, too. A key element to these trucks is their durability. Owners who spend a lot of time bouncing their trucks along river banks or over rugged, rocky terrain will find a Tacoma holds up for more seasons of abuse than many other vehicles will. Only Jeep and Land Rover compare in this regard. A freshened front end for 2016 doesn’t hide the fact that the Tacoma doesn’t look that much different than it did in 2005. The front fascia is more blocky, while the familiar big fender flares are gone. The hex pattern grille appears subdued compared to the bigger Tundra pickup. The tailgate with Tacoma stamped on it looks industrial like the Tundra. The three-piece bumper made of fiberglass and resin makes it look different.
It may not be rugged but it’s lightweight and easy to replace, if you don’t mind throwing away the easily broken one and paying for a new one. The Pro looks more rugged, with its black alloy wheels and all-terrain tires, and lifted by one inch. Cabin amenities and comfort are not the Tacoma’s strongest suits. The low roof and high floor means you’re climbing up and ducking into a tight cabin. The seats are not comfortable. In short, the Tacoma is not nearly as comfortable as the Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon or Honda Ridgeline. The seats are short and flat, the driver’s seat doesn’t raise or tilt, nor are there any power adjustments, standard on Canyon and Colorado. The seats across the Tacoma line are springy, foam-core affairs that put too much pressure on the seat bones and not enough support under the thighs. Back support is just as poor. They feel cheap and dated. Even in the top Limited model, which adds nice leather, the driver’s seat doesn’t raise or tilt. But maybe that lack of ability to raise the seat is because headroom is limited, especially with the available moonroof.
The leather itself offers slightly more support than the cloth does. All that said, the Tacoma is full of excellent details. There’s an acoustic glass windshield and a lot of sound deadening, and the lack of cabin noise makes it feel refined. There are some upscale materials on the horizontal dashboard, and the surfaces are coordinated. The rearview mirror has a GoPro mount. There’s touchscreen audio, and most models can do smartphone navigation. In the back, the tailgate has a lock and damper to keep it from slamming down when you drop it with one hand. Rails in the bed have movable cleats and tie-down points. Some models have a deck-mounted 120-volt AC power outlet. There’s an available four-panel folding tonneau cover. The precise length of the short bed is 60.5 inches, and the long bed is 73.7 inches. The width of the bed is 53.4 inches, narrowing to 41.5 inches at the wheelwells, so a sheet of plywood won’t fit flat, and will have to ride on the raised tailgate. The depth of the bed is 19.1 inches.
The folding rear seats in the Access Cab are very small, suitable for kids who think it’s fun to be put in a box and bounced for a while, and groceries that might not mind. The Double Cab’s full back seat allegedly seats three, while being split 60/40 with storage under the bench. The Toyota Tacoma is the best choice among mid-size pickups for forays into rugged terrain. The Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, and Honda Ridgeline are better for commuting and as an alternative to a car. The tight cabin and low-rent seats mean the Tacoma is not the most comfortable. But it’s hard to break one of these or wear it out, so if you’re a fishing guide in Montana or a dirt biker in the Southwest, the Tacoma is your truck. Sam Moses contributed to this report, with Mitch McCullough reporting from New Jersey. The 2017 Toyota Tacoma comes in six models: SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off Road, TRD Limited, and TRD Pro. The SR Access Cab I4 automatic with six-foot bed and two-wheel drive ($24,120) is the base model.
