Performance: Hybrid Power that Works Hard
At the core of every 2026 Tacoma i-FORCE MAX is Toyota’s hybrid powertrain: a turbocharged 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with a 48-horsepower electric motor and eight-speed automatic transmission. This combination delivers 326 net horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque starting at just 1,700 RPM, which is plenty of low-end strength for towing, hauling, and climbing steep grades.
Every Tacoma i-FORCE MAX is four-wheel drive and comes with coil-spring multi-link rear suspension for smooth ride quality. The TRD Off-Road and Trailhunter trims include special shocks – Bilstein® monotubes or Old Man Emu units with End Zone Control – for added stability on rocky or uneven terrain. Max towing capacity reaches 6,000 pounds, while payload can range up to 1,710 pounds, depending on trim.
