2012 Toyota Tacoma

The Toyota Tacoma offers a restyled exterior look and a redesigned, upgraded interior in all models for 2012. New changes add comfort, usability and audio/infotainment performance.

For 2012, Tacoma shows a fresh face with a redesigned hood, grille, headlamps and front bumper. Inside, drivers will find a new center-instrument panel design with a revised gauge cluster, along with a new steering wheel. A redesigned center stack adds new air conditioner/heater controls and power point locations.

The 2012 Tacoma interior also gets a new look with a black high-contrast center console, switch plate covers, dash and upper door trim, while the SR5 grade features a new seat fabric design.

With owners using their trucks for hard work and hard play, Tacoma offers new heavy-duty all-weather flooring in the 2012 Tacoma Access and Double Cab models, while the more specialized TRD Sport and Off-Road models offer new water-resistant fabric protection seats. The TRD Sport Package adds side mirrors with turn-signal lamps for 2012, as well as available chrome-clad 18-inch wheels.

The 2012 Tacoma is available in a wide variety of configurations and models. Many models offer a choice between four-cylinder and V6 engines, and 2WD and 4WD drivetrains.

The 2012 Tacoma line offers two engines: a 2.7-liter four-cylinder that produces 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft. of torque, and a 4.0-liter V6 that provides 236 horsepower with 266 lb-ft. of torque. In both engines, variable valve timing with intelligence provides strong low-end and mid-range torque. To take performance even higher, TRD offers a 4.0-liter V6 supercharger kit capable of generating 304 horsepower and 334 lbs.-ft. of torque.
