The 2027 Toyota Tacoma fills the midsize role with turbocharged four-cylinder power, multiple cab and bed configurations, and an available manual transmission. The 2027 Toyota Tundra moves into full-size territory with twin-turbo V6 power, higher towing limits, and a new Trailhunter configuration.
At Parks Toyota of DeLand in DeLand, FL, shoppers can compare these two trucks based on size, power, towing capacity, off-road hardware, and technology.
The 2027 Toyota Tacoma enters the model year unchanged following its recent generation change. It remains available in two-door XtraCab and four-door Double Cab configurations, with rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive offered depending on configuration. Every nonhybrid Tacoma uses a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine.
Powertrain highlights include:
The separately reviewed i-FORCE MAX hybrid increases output to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.
Properly equipped, the 2027 Toyota Tacoma towing capacity reaches 6,500 pounds with the nonhybrid powertrain. Maximum payload is 1,705 pounds. The hybrid is rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds and carry up to 1,710 pounds. Cargo-bed choices depend on the cab. XtraCab models use a six-foot bed, while Double Cab trucks can be configured with a five-foot or six-foot bed. That range lets buyers prioritize a longer bed, four-door passenger access, or a combination suited to everyday work and recreation.
Tacoma configurations use two different rear suspension designs. The SR, SR5 XtraCab, and TRD PreRunner use leaf springs, while other configurations feature rear coil springs. Toyota also offers several trail-oriented Tacoma configurations, including TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter. This gives shoppers choices ranging from straightforward work trucks to pickups designed for more demanding off-pavement driving.
