What is the Towing Capacity of the 2021 Toyota Tacoma?

Since 1995, the Toyota Tacoma has been a mainstay in the Toyota truck lineup. This reliable and versatile pickup is known for its off-roading and adventuring capabilities, but its powerful engines are more than capable of towing your toys, too. The 2021 Tacoma is one of the most powerful model years of the truck to date.

Standard and Maximum Towing Capacities for Each New Tacoma Trim

The new Toyota Tacoma is offered in six separate trims, the majority of which have a standard towing capacity of 3500 pounds. The maximum towing capacity of any 2021 Tacoma is attained by the SR5 and TRD Sport, which top out at an impressive 6,800 pounds, enough for a midsize trailer, large boat, or even another vehicle. Here’s the breakdown of trims and their standard and maximum towing capacities.

• SR: 3500 lbs / 6800 lbs
• SR5: 3500 lbs / 6800 lbs
• TRD Sport: 3500 lbs / 6800 lbs
• TRD Off-Road: 3500 lbs / 6500 lbs
• Limited: 3500 lbs / 6600 lbs
• TRD Pro: 3500 lbs / 6400 lbs

What 2021 Toyota Tacoma Options Maximize Towing Capacity?

One thing that’s great about the Tacoma is just how customizable it is. With all of the options Toyota provides as to cab length, bed length, engine, and more, you really can make the Tacoma your own.

However, if you want to maximize one area of your Tacoma’s performance, like its maximum towing capacity, there are particular choices to make. To receive that maximum towing capacity, you’ll want an Access Cab configuration with a six-foot bed on specific trim levels.

You’ll also want to choose a model with the available 3.5L V6 Direct Injection Atkinson Cycle engine, which powers up to 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque for those heaviest jobs. When you choose one of these models, you’ll also receive a Class IV Receiver Hitch with a transmission cooler, engine oil cooler, heavy-duty battery, and more.
