Toyota didn’t just give the Tacoma a hybrid powertrain. It gave it a complete overhaul, with new suspension, a stronger frame, and the most advanced tech Toyota has ever put in a midsize truck. The 2026 Tacoma i-FORCE MAX is powerful, capable, and electric-assist efficient, with a standard 326-horsepower hybrid system and 465 lb-ft of torque across every trim.
Available in TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, Limited, and the adventure-built Trailhunter, the i-FORCE MAX Tacoma comes standard with 4WD, serious trail equipment, and bold design choices that push this hybrid pickup to the top of the class.

Every i-FORCE MAX Tacoma comes with seating for five and a more refined cabin experience. Interior materials vary by trim – from SofTex® on TRD models to leather on Limited and Trailhunter – but all versions are packed with smart storage, comfortable seating, and useful touches.
Front passengers enjoy up to 39.7 inches of headroom and 41.8 inches of legroom. Rear passengers get 33.7 inches of legroom in Double Cab models. Rear seats flip up for added storage, and MOLLE panels or rear accessory mounts are available on specific trims.
Interior Features:
Other available features include ambient interior lighting, automatic up/down windows, aluminum pedals, rear sliding glass, and an integrated trailer brake controller on towing-equipped models.
The 2026 Tacoma’s redesigned frame and suspension are wrapped in a bolder body with improved approach and departure angles. LED lighting is standard across the board, with integrated vertical DRLs and LED fog lamps on higher trims. The truck bed features a composite construction, power-locking tailgate, and available bed step and tie-down rails.
TRD Pro and Trailhunter trims come equipped with off-road extras like high-clearance bumpers, ARB® steel rear bumper, and rock rails. Trailhunter gets exclusive bronze accents, while Limited models show off body-color trim and chrome accents.
Exterior Features:
Wheel sizes range from 18-inch alloy wheels on Limited and TRD Sport to 33-inch Goodyear® Territory R/T tires on Trailhunter and TRD Pro. Additional options include tubular rock rails, black overfenders, and rain-sensing wipers.

All trims of the 2026 Tacoma i-FORCE MAX are powered by the same 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a 48-horsepower electric motor integrated into the eight-speed automatic transmission. This system generates 326 net horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, far outpacing the standard gas-only Tacoma.
Every i-FORCE MAX includes standard 4WDemand part-time four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case and automatic limited-slip differential. Multi-Terrain Select and available front and rear locking differentials let you tailor the drive to terrain.
