Overview

The 2014 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab is a prominent contender in the midsize pickup truck segment, competing primarily with the Chevrolet Colorado Extended Cab, the GMC Canyon Extended Cab, and the Nissan Frontier King Cab. Prices start off at an MSRP of $22,725 with the base trim and reach all the way to the top V6 trim carrying an MSRP of $28,385, for a total of 3 trims being offered. With multiple powertrain and cab options available across multiple trims, there is a Tacoma Double Cab for everyone. The Toyota Tacoma Double Cab offers 2 exciting powertrains, each offered as both a rear-wheel drive and a 4-wheel drive. The base engine is a 2.7L Inline-4 engine capable of making 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. This engine is rated for a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Another engine is a larger 4.0L V6 engine making 236 horsepower and carrying a towing capacity of 6,400 pounds. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission while a 6-speed manual is optional. Furthermore, you get only a single 5-feet bed. All in all, the Toyota Tacoma Double Cab delivers an exciting package, both in terms of performance and looks. The rugged and masculine exteriors are offered in 8 attractive colors.

Buying Advice

If you're looking for the most utility, we recommend the V6 Double Cab with the Limited package. Among the many essential features, it offers are 18-inch chrome wheels, extended chrome exterior trim, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with an outside temperature gauge and Homelink, heated front seats, and synthetic leather upholstery.
