Which Tacoma is Best for Off-Roading?
The best Tacoma for off-roading is the TRD Pro trim level. It comes standard with a number of features that make it well-suited for off-road driving, including:
A 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque
FOX shocks
A locking rear differential
Crawl Control
A unique grille and black exterior accents
The TRD Pro also has a high ground clearance and a short approach angle, which makes it easy to navigate over obstacles. It also has a long departure angle, which makes it easy to exit steep inclines.
The TRD Off-Road trim level is another good option for off-roading. It has many of the same features as the TRD Pro, but it doesn't have the turbocharged engine or FOX shocks. The TRD Sport trim level is more suited for light off-roading, as it doesn't have a locking rear differential or Crawl Control.
If you're serious about off-roading, the TRD Pro is the best Tacoma for you. It's the most capable off-road Tacoma trim level, and it comes standard with all the features you need to tackle challenging terrain.
