When most Hartford area drivers think about the humble pickup truck, they think about hard work, grit, sweat—all that good stuff. And why wouldn't they? Pickups have become synonymous with tough work and hard workers, but you know the saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," and well, it's kind of true.
The 2018 Toyota Tacoma doesn't suffer from that, however—it's built tough and rugged, perfect for hard work and for hard play. Pro snowboarder and U.S Olympian Linds Jacobellis knows all about both, and that's why she and her 2018 Toyota Tacoma are going places—together.

What Makes This Pickup Built for Fun?
Plenty of pickups can work hard—and don't get us wrong, so can the 2018 Toyota Tacoma—but right now, we're more focused on play; not every pickup can cut it as a fun truck, too. Here are some of the best features found on the 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4x4:
- Standard skid plates covering the engine and front suspension mean you can take your Tacoma off the beaten path and beat that new path into a beaten path, safe in the knowledge that your tender underbelly is covered—literally.
- Make the most of adventure thanks to standard Multi-Terrain Select Crawl Control (CRAWL). It'll help you conquer those obstacles in your way, pesky things like mountains.
- A standard TRD-tuned off-road suspension with Blistein® shocks mean a smooth, responsive drive, both on and off the pavement.
- Bring the fun with a standard 3.5-liter V6 engine rated at 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque; that engine, in conjunction with a six-speed automatic transmission, results in a payload 1,175 pounds, so if you're looking to haul a small trailer or bring along your ATV, the 2018 Tacoma can handle it.
