2019 Toyota Tacoma Review

There are few trucks on the road today that can combine tremendous off-roading capability with powerful performance and towing ability. But the 2019 Toyota Tacoma is that truck, and it’s available here at Toyota of Des Moines. Explore West Des Moines, Des Moines, and Grimes behind the wheel of this Toyota truck.

In this review of the most recent edition of the Tacoma, we’re taking a closer look at how this vehicle performs, what it’s like inside, and what you can expect when it comes to its safety features.

Tacoma Performance and Towing Capability

There are a pair of powerful engines to choose from in the Tacoma. The first is a 159-horsepower 4-cylinder engine, while the second is a 3.5-liter direct-injection V6. The V6 engine blends efficiency and power to provide increased performance. Made from high-strength steel, the Tacoma delivers with its toughness. But since the high-strength steel is lighter than conventional steel, it helps to optimize performance and safety.

When it comes to towing, bring along dirt bikes, side-by-sides, and so much more. When equipped with the V6 engine and the available towing technology, this truck can tow up to 6,800 pounds, carrying a max payload of 1,440 pounds. Want to go on an off-roading adventure? The Off-Road Crawl Control modulates throttle and brakes on low-speed settings so you can tackle tough terrain.

Interior Amenities

The Tacoma interior is designed to be welcoming and able to meet the demands of the daily driver and the weekend traveler. The soft-touch interior features include available leather-trimmed seating surfaces on the Tacoma Limited trim. 

The available Entune™ Audio system allows drivers and passengers to access their phone, apps, traffic, and weather through the large 7-inch touchscreen. Play your favorite tunes, and use the JBL® amplifier and premium speakers to make it sound great. Whether it’s the middle of summer or the dead of winter, you’ll always be comfortable, thanks to available front dual-zone automatic climate control. Both driver and front passenger will be comfortable regardless of what’s going on outside the cabin.

Safety Features

You deserve peace of mind for any of your upcoming travels. Have it with the standard Star Safety System™, which includes helpful safety technologies such as Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, and Brake Assist. These features work together to keep your Toyota Tacoma on the right path.

Available Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert can detect other vehicles, illuminating an indicator on the corresponding outside mirror to alert you of a car that might be crossing when backing up or changing lanes. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert will provide an audible indicator if other cars are approaching.
