Towing Opportunities
The 2022 Toyota Tacoma gives drivers the opportunity to choose between two engine options. The two choices are either the standard 2.7L DOHC and drivers can upgrade to the available 3.5L V6. Let’s see what kind of energy is found in both:
| Engine | Horsepower (hp) | Torque (lb-ft) | Towing Capacity (lbs)
*When properly equipped |
| 2.7L DOHC | 159 | 180 | Up to 3,500 |
| 3.5L V6 | 278 | 265 | Up to 6,400 |
Your final decision really depends on how much power you prefer and how many items you plan to tow. Stick with the standard engine outputs if they’re right for you. However, for those who want to burst onto the scene with a higher horsepower and torque–Toyota reserves that raw, unyielding power for the available 3.5L V6 engine.
What’s even better is that when paired with the available Tow Package, the 3.5L engine improves its towing ability by 400 extra pounds, bringing your towing capacity to a whopping 6,800 pounds.
To get a better idea of what kind of items you are capable of moving, here are some examples:
- Three 1,800-pound U-Haul Trailers
- Five 1,300-pound speedboats
- Six 1,000-pound telephone polls
- Two 2,600-pound medium missiles
