2020 Toyota Tacoma Engine & Performance

As one of the most popular midsize or “light” pickup trucks, the Toyota Tacoma gets its reputation by making sure to build a solid, reliable workhorse for its fans and everyone else who finds the Tacoma the best choice for a smaller truck. No truck would be worth anything without a good engine. For that very reason, the 2020 Toyota Tacoma has two engine options so buyers can choose either lower power for a lower price, or greater power for the best value. Read on to learn about the 2020 Toyota Tacoma engine options.

2020 Toyota Tacoma 2.7L Engine Option

The base model of the 2020 Toyota Tacoma can have either this or the larger engine, but as a base model, it usually comes with the 2.7L inline 4-cylinder engine. Owners of Tacoma trucks thusly equipped can get 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. That’s plenty enough to get light work done and help a friend move occasionally, but it can become much more. This engine can be coupled with 4WD to improve traction if the road ahead of you includes a lot of uneven terrains and rocky or sandy surfaces.
