Overview

The 2019 Toyota Tacoma continues to shine in the mid-size pickup segment. Starting at $26,595 (all prices include the $1,045 destination charge), the latest Tacoma is available in six trims and a total of 32 unique configurations. The Tacoma’s towing capacity and breadth of packages permit all consumers to assemble a Tacoma to fit their budget, desires, and needs with little hassle.

What's New for 2019

The 2019 Toyota Tacoma is mainly unchanged. There are a few additions including two more USB ports in the center console and privacy glass. A new SX Package gives consumers a black-out theme on select Access Cab models.

Toyota Tacoma

Choosing Your Toyota Tacoma

The 2019 Toyota Tacoma offers three unique powertrain combinations – two paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and one with a manual six-speed. The base powerplant is a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. The second option is a 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers 278 hp and 265 pound-feet of torque. Consumers who select lower grades (such as the base SR) can upgrade to the V6 with two-wheel drive for $4,775 over the base price, while the same engine and four-wheel drive can be added for $7,440 over the starting price.

One of the best attributes of the Tacoma is towing capacity. Those looking to take advantage of this feature will start with a V6 engine that includes a Class IV towing hitch, engine and transmission cooler, and a towing capacity of 6,800 pounds. The four-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive Tacoma returns an EPA-estimated 20 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, and 21 combined. Adding all-wheel-drive drops those figures to 19/22/20 mpg (city/highway/combined). The V6 engine gets 19/24/21 mpg with rear-wheel drive and 18/22/20 with four-wheel drive.

There are six trims for the 2019 Toyota Tacoma:

Toyota Tacoma

SR

The 2019 Toyota Tacoma SR is available at a starting price of $26,595. Consumers can configure their SR with an access cab with a six-foot bed, or a double cab (or four-door) with a five-foot bed for $2,545 extra. If cargo space is important for you, the access cab with folding rear seats is the best bet. The SR comes with 16-inch wheels, fabric trim, a 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, three USB ports, Bluetooth, and a rearview camera as standard.

Consumers can add a few packages that will customize their SR for their application. The Utility Package actually saves consumers $1,715 and removes the rear seats, cup holders, and other rear-cab options (in the 4-cylinder Access cab), while adding black door handles, mirror caps, bumpers, and a fixed rear window. A $230 SR Convenience Package adds a keyless entry system, while the SX Package ($570) upgrades to black alloy wheels, headlights, over-fender guards, door handles, and mirror caps. On models with the double cab, a Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover with Options package ($880) brings keyless entry and the tonneau cover.

Toyota Tacoma

SR5

The SR5 begins at $31,445 with the four-cylinder engine with four-wheel-drive and access cab with the six-foot bed. It starts where the SR leaves off with a few additional cab/bed/powertrain configurations. Consumers can add the double cab with either the five-foot bed (for $880 extra) or six-foot bed (for an additional $1,380). The SR5 is standard with the four-cylinder engine but buyers can upgrade to the 3.5-liter V6 with two- or four-wheel drive. The SR5 includes fog lights, navigation, a power-sliding rear window, keyless entry, a chrome rear bumper, and an upgraded 4.2-inch touchscreen infotainment display.

The SR5 Appearance Package (for the four-cylinder only) adds silver alloy wheels and over-fenders for $685 extra. With the V6 engine and two-wheel drive, a SR5 Parking Sonar and Navigation Package with options ($775) adds an Entune premium audio system and rear parking assist sonar. With the double cab and five-foot bed, the hard tri-fold tonneau cover is available for $650, while the SR5 Parking Sonar and Navigation Package now costs $1,425 because it also brings the tonneau cover.

Toyota Tacoma

TRD Sport

The TRD Sport is where the Tacoma begins to grow up. Starting at $33,290 with the access cab, six-foot bed, V6 engine, and two-wheel drive, the TRD Sport has 17-inch machined alloy wheels, Qi-Compatible wireless charging, a power tilt and slide moonroof, LED daytime running lights, a composite liner with a 120-volt power outlet, and a color-keyed hood scoop. Consumers can opt for a six-speed manual transmission with the V6 and four-wheel drive.

The Technology Package with Options ($1,510) brings dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, automatic headlights, rear parking assist sonar, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. With the double cab, the Technology Package drops to $800 and only includes the active safety features. With the double cab and six-foot bed, a Premium Package with Options ($3,690) all of the features from the Technology Package with Options and adds leather-trimmed seats, a premium audio system, navigation, and a moonroof. The same package is available with the tonneau cover for $4,340.

Toyota Tacoma

TRD Off-Road

Starting at $36,575, the TRD Off-Road is only offered with the V6 and automatic transmission with four-wheel drive. It takes a more aggressive stance and offers consumers more bang for their off-road inspired buck. The TRD Off-Road picks up where the TRD Pro leaves off and adds the smart key system with push-button start, the Entune premium audio system with an integrated navigation system, electronically locking rear differential, and a multi-terrain select system with a CRAWL control feature.

There are multiple package options available with the TRD Off-Road with the double cab: the tonneau cover ($650), Premium Package ($2,890), Premium Package with Options ($3,660), and Premium Package with Options and the tonneau cover ($4,310).

Toyota Tacoma

Limited

The Limited trim is where comfort is enhanced. The Limited starts at $41,610 and is only offered with the double-cab, five-foot bed, V6 engine, and four-wheel drive. It includes a power moonroof, leather-trimmed seating, front dual-zone automatic climate control, a Premium JBL audio system, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, 18-inch polished alloy wheels as standard. The only package option for the Limited is the addition of a hard-top tonneau cover, which will add $650 to the bill.

Toyota Tacoma

TRD Pro

Starting at $46,410, the Tacoma TRD Pro is the range-topper that's also only available with the V6, four-wheel drive, double cab, and five-foot bed. The TRD Pro includes upgraded TRD badging throughout the truck, performance shocks, an exhaust system, front skid plates, and other TRD goodies. For those looking for an upgrade, a $725 desert air intake package can be added.

CarsDirect Tip

Choosing a 2019 Toyota Tacoma really breaks down to personal preference. Each trim and configuration offers something unique for consumers to consider. However, those in cold-weather climates should opt for a four-wheel drive in any trim level for added traction on wet and icy roads.

For about the first decade or so of this century, the Toyota Tacoma enjoyed a stranglehold on the small truck market. It held its own by being rugged, simple, and reliable in a way that its competitors of the day simply couldn't match. But those mid-aughts were a different time, an era where the mid-size truck market had been neglected. That's no longer the case: in a rare moment of sensibility, both buyers and manufacturers seem to have recently rediscovered the merits of the humble mid-size pickup truck. Only a couple years ago, General Motors introduced their wholly-modernized GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado, and now Ford is reintroducing the Ranger, another little trucklet that is sure to entice the small-truck faithful. While the traits that made the Taco a legend still seem to persist in the 2019 Toyota Tacoma, the caliber of the latest competitors mean the aging model will no longer be the de facto small-truck champion it once was.

Best Value

The beauty of a small truck lies in its versatility – a pint-sized carryall is more suitable to being both a daily-driver and a light-duty Home Depot runner than a lumbering full-sizer. The Tacoma expands upon this idea of versatility by being offered in no less than six trims and two cab styles, bed lengths, and powertrains.

We'd walk away from this veritable buffet of choice with a TRD Sport model equipped with four-wheel-drive and the four-seater Access Cab that comes paired with the six-foot bed. The TRD Sport is a definite step up from the base trims both in powertrain as well as content, yet doesn't come saddled with the hefty sticker prices worn by the Limited or the TRD Pro. And while the crew cab (Double Cab in Toyota-speak) is unarguably a practical people-hauler, the smaller four-seater Access Cab and it's mandatory six-foot bed make for a better truck when it comes to doing genuine truck-things. All told, here's our cooked-to-order Taco:

  • Model: 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport
  • Engine: 3.5-liter V6
  • Output: 278 hp / 265 lb-ft
  • Transmission: Six-speed manual
  • Drivetrain: Four-wheel drive
  • MPG:17 City / 21 Hwy
  • Options: None
  • Base Price:$35,265 (including the $1,045 destination charge)
  • Best Value Price:$35,265

Performance

Toyota Tacoma

Tacomas are offered in two different levels of oomph: the base 2.7-liter four-cylinder and a stronger and smooth 3.5-liter V6. It's no coincidence that most Tacomas use the latter mill – it's vastly superior to the bargain-bin four that powers the lower-trim trucks. With only 159 horsepower, the four-cylinder simply doesn't have the strength to lug around two tons of pickup truck. The result is a coarse and unrefined experience. Making matters worse is the lack of a manual transmission; the six-speed automatic is too eager to upshift and ergo exacerbates the dearth of power.

Though the 3.5-liter V6 isn't a rocket ship by any means, it's noticeably quicker and smoother than the base engine. It manages to put 278 hp and 262 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to motivate the Tacoma with ease even when it's brushing up against it's maximum 6,800-pound tow rating and 1,620 payload rating. Like the four-cylinder, the V6 comes in either body style, and unlike the other engine it can be paired up with either the six-speed automatic or six-speed manual. Fuel economy for the V6 is highest when it's in a two-wheel-drive Access Cab with an automatic, as that combo returns an EPA-estimated 19 miles per gallon city, 24 mpg highway, and 21 combined. The four-cylinder built to the same specifications would return a very-similar 20/23/21 mpg (city/highway/combined).

Out on the road, the Tacoma won't let you forget it's a truck. The ride on most models is firm and harsh; highway expansion joints and the like are felt in full every time, whether or not the bed is loaded or empty. On TRD Pro models, standard Fox shocks make for an even firmer on-road ride due to being focused for off-road hijinks.

Style

No matter how good or bad a truck's stat sheet is, it's ultimately the style that'll determine whether it sinks or swims. In that regard, the Tacoma's doing alright. It's butch and aggressive without looking too much like a Tonka truck or any of its competitors. We're especially enamored with the duds of the TRD Pro, which includes a retro-themed grille spelling out the Toyota name in block letters. Call it kitschy, but we like it. Regardless of trim, the front fascia is a favorite angle of ours, as it's aggressive and purposeful but not so bold as to be overwrought. Out back is typical pickup truck fare, nothing to write home about but certainly nothing to call out, either. Overall, it's a cohesive design that blends current trends with just enough heritage to ensure that no one's confused over what this truck's country of origin might be.

Inside, the interior is upright and rather spartan, which is fitting for what's intended to be a workhorse. Materials are all of good quality and placement of switches and controls is ergonomically pleasing. Oddly enough, the seats have no height adjustment and front occupants sit with a legs-out position. The result is an almost sports-car feel, which might be rather disconcerting when you're trying to wheel around a pickup truck. A lack of head room front and rear is especially noticeable in the Double Cab's cramped rear seats.

Impressively, the Tacoma comes standard with Toyota's suite of active safety features, which includes automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning. This is nothing to sneeze at, as most competitors don't even offer this level of safety gadgets in their mid-size trucks. Higher trim models also offer blind-spot monitoring as well.

The Best and Worst Things

The Tacoma's robust V6, standard suite of active safety features, and distinctively butch styling keep it a strong contender in the mid-size truck segment.

It's not all roses and lollipops, though. The Tacoma suffers from a rough, truckish ride, and it's also saddled with a tight interior that's lacking basic amenities like driver's seat height adjustment and smartphone compatibility.

Right For? Wrong For?

Toyota Tacoma

The suburban handyman who needs an around-town truck for a myriad of DIY projects would be happy in the proven and tidily-sized Tacoma. Big and tall drivers, though, won't be comfortable in the tight quarters of the Tacoma's cabin, and, as such, should look elsewhere.

The Bottom Line

It wasn't so long ago that the Tacoma was the king of the tiny mid-sizr truck hill. Since then, though, there's been significant upheaval in the market. It's not that the Tacoma has retrogressed; the problem is merely that it's stagnated in a fast-changing segment, one where wholly modern domestic small trucks are reigniting the fire of competition. That the 2019 Toyota Tacoma isn't the best out there doesn't speak to the fallacies of Toyota's popular truck – it only underscores the recent improvement of the competing products and the market in general.
