Overview

Part of the midsize pickup truck segment, the 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Double Cab competes directly with the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Crew Cab, the GMC Canyon AT4 Crew Cab, and the Nissan Frontier Pro-4X Crew Cab. A base price of MSRP $33,800 gets you a 3.5L V6 engine and a 6-Speed Automatic transmission. Despite the prices going up to $45,665, this single powertrain is found in all 3 trims. Having said that, buyers also get an option to opt for a 6-Speed Manual transmission. This engine produces 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, achieving a 0-60 of 7.5 seconds, and is offered as an RWD and 4WD except for the top TRD Pro which comes with standard 4WD. The Tacoma TRD Double Cab offers a 5.0 feet and 6.1 feet cargo bed, with 1,175 pounds and 1,120 pounds of payload capacity respectively. It also offers a healthy towing capacity of 6,400 pounds.

Buying Advice

The 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Double Cab has long been a favorite among truck enthusiasts, and for good reason. Its decent on-road driving manners, off-road capability, and relatively affordable price tag have made it a hit. While we are on these three aspects, it won't be wrong to say that TRD Sport is the best version of Tacoma. Moreover, to enhance safety, you can opt for the Technology package.
