2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD Cotton T-Shirt

The 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD dominated the midsize truck market by delivering unmatched resale value and bulletproof reliability. This generation secured its place as the premier overlanding platform, mastering rugged terrain while holding its value better than any competitor of its era.

Under the hood, the TRD models feature the 2GR-FKS engine, a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6. Utilizing Toyota’s D-4S port and direct fuel injection system along with the Atkinson cycle, this dual-overhead-cam powerplant produces 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of peak torque.

Built on a high-strength steel body-on-frame chassis, the TRD Off-Road utilizes Bilstein monotube dampers and an electronic locking rear differential. Offered with a six-speed manual or automatic, this part-time four-wheel-drive system excels at technical low-speed rock crawling.

Toyota built over one million third-generation Tacomas, making them highly accessible yet fiercely sought-after by enthusiasts who prize the naturally aspirated V6. This generation replaced the second-gen Tacoma and was succeeded by the turbocharged, fourth-generation model for 2024.
