TORONTO, Ontario (October 5^th, 2022) – Go where you want. Take what you want. Find the thrill beyond the end of the pavement. The 2023 Toyota Tacoma is your willing partner no matter where life takes you.

“Having built trucks for more than 80 years, Toyota has earned a global reputation for designing, engineering, and manufacturing pickups that handle everything life throws at them – and we’ve built that experience into every 2023 Tacoma,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc. “We’re excited to offer Canadians a strong lineup of Tacoma models this year, with a range of styles, capabilities, and features designed to appeal to everyone who loves a great truck.”

All models feature a hard-playing exterior that’s a clear reflection of Tacoma’s capabilities. Sport models feature sophisticated style while trail and off-road models express their terrain-conquering prowess. All models are equipped with many practical features that Tacoma owners will love and others will envy – such as the locking tailgate that is not only easy to lift and lower but also to remove. Coupled with a rear step bumper, loading and unloading is a breeze.

If Tacoma’s exterior sets it apart from the competition, the interior puts it in the class by itself. Tacoma is ready to take you where others fear to tread in comfort and in style, with comfortable seating, versatile interiors, plenty of in-cabin storage space, thoughtfully designed instrumentation and controls that put everything at the driver’s beck and call, and an attention to materials, detail, quality, and finish that only Toyota can deliver.

Under the hood, all 2023 Tacoma models feature a powerful yet efficient 3.5L V6 coupled to a choice of six-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual gearbox. The result is plenty of power and impressive efficiency. Heavy-duty suspensions are ready to provide secure footing over almost any terrain while keeping driver and passengers comfortable. And every model comes factory-equipped with a towing package that includes Class IV hitch, 7-pin wire harness, and trailer sway control.

All models feature an impressive bundle of powerful yet intuitive technologies plus comfort and convenience amenities. Every model includes a touchscreen-equipped display audio system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a tilting/telescoping steering wheel, scuff plates, and rear privacy glass.

As a Toyota, every 2023 Tacoma is also well equipped with state-of-the-art safety technologies. Every Tacoma features Toyota Safety Sense P – an advanced bundle of active-safety technologies and capabilities designed to enhance protection and support driver awareness and decision-making. Other standard safety features include the Toyota Star Safety System, eight airbags, and a backup camera.
