If you’re looking for a bold truck that is sure to turn heads on the highway and cruise across off-road terrain, you’re sure to like the 2022 Toyota Tacoma. This robust vehicle is perfect for adventurers, so pack up your gear, pick the destination, and get ready to drive. We at Keith Pierson Toyota have put together a guide of the key Tacoma features to help you determine if this might be your new dream truck, including descriptions of the interior, exterior, trim levels, power and performance, technology, and safety features you can expect.
Interior
The interior of the 2022 Toyota Tacoma offers power-adjustable seats and dual-zone automatic climate control for maximum comfort. You can also enjoy power rear windows and two USB charge ports in all trim levels. For a more refined interior finish, select the Limited or TRD Off-Road trims for gorgeous leather-trimmed seating, steering wheel, and shift lever. These two trims also offer interior features like a Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging station, a smart key system, and a power sliding rear window with privacy glass.
Exterior
This truck comes with a 5-foot short bed, making packing up and hauling cargo a breeze. The inner bed is made with fiber-reinforced sheet-molded composite and steel outer panels. It also includes storage compartments and rail caps. The tailgate design also makes it easy to lower, lock, and remove. Other key exterior features on all trims include the integrated color-keyed tailgate spoiler, engine, and front suspension skid plates, and a deck rail system with tie-down cleats and points so you can secure your cargo effectively.
Exterior color options include Electric Lime, Barcelona Red Metallic, Midnight Black Metallic, Wind Chill Pearl, Army Green, Blue Crush Metallic, and Celestial Silver Metallic to name a few. Looking for a truck with an edge? Try out the Nightshade Special Edition, which features a unique grille, dark smoke 18-inch alloy wheels, and a blacked exterior trim, including the exhaust pipe. Other optional exterior features include LED headlights for high and low beams and Trail Special Edition bronze wheels.
Trim Levels
The 2022 Toyota Tacoma comes in six distinct trim levels: the SR, the SR5, the TRD Sport, the TRD Off-Road, the Limited, and the TRD Pro. Key features of the SR include projector-beam headlights, a deck rail system, and an estimated 18 mpg for city driving and 22 mpg for highway driving. The SR5 offers features like a four-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and integrated fog lights, along with an estimated 20 mpg for city driving and 23 mpg for highway driving.
The TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited all feature an estimated 19 mpg for city driving and 24 mpg for highway driving. A panoramic view monitor and smart key system are available for the Sport trim. The Off-Road trim offers a multi-terrain select system with Crawl Control and a locking rear differential. The Limited trim includes 18-inch polished alloy wheels for added style. Finally, the TRD Pro includes a classic TOYOTA front grille with a camera and, along with the TRD, has a machine-forged upper control arm and an estimated 18 mpg for city driving and 22 mpg for highway driving.
Power and Performance
The 2022 Toyota Tacoma comes with either a 2.7-liter four-cylinder or a 3.5-liter V-6 direct-injection engine, giving you plenty of power for your next off-roading adventure. This vehicle offers a towing capacity of up to 6,800 pounds with a suspension lift and available trailer-sway control, which can give you a smoother ride through torque management. If you enjoy being in control, you can choose a model with a six-speed manual transmission. Also available is the Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) system, which offers drivers five driving modes each tailored to a different driving environment so you can adjust for your current terrain.
If you plan to do a lot of off-roading, there are plenty of exciting features you can prioritize in your purchase process. For example, the Tacoma TRD trim offers an off-road crawl control that helps control your throttle and brake actions for smooth, low-speed driving. You can also opt for the available Bilstein shocks to absorb impacts on bumpy trails. Other available features include a hill start assist control and a multi-terrain monitor. Both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are available on most trims, depending on the configuration you choose.
Technology
You can enjoy your driving time with exceptional audio multimedia systems available in each of the trim levels. This includes an available 4.2-inch color multi-information display. Select trims offer 7- and 8-inch touch-screen options. Other available technologies include a panoramic view monitor and a smart key system with a push-button start. This system allows you to lock and unlock your car doors without ever touching the key fob. You can also enjoy smartphone connectivity, Amazon Alexa, and a three-month trial subscription to SiriusXM’s Platinum Plan.
Safety
The 2022 Tacoma comes with all the latest safety features, including a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, a dynamic radar cruise control, a lane departure alert system, and automatic high beams. It also includes a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert and an integrated backup camera with rear parking sonar to allow you to back up with confidence. You can also enjoy the Star Safety System, which includes vehicle stability control, traction control, an anti-lock brake system, brake assist, and smart brake technology.
