The 2026 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro starts at $66,495 TSRP and comes standard with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, producing 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. It earns an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined, and tows up to 6,000 lb when properly equipped.
Total Suggested Retail Price (TSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, processing, and handling fees, which are subject to change at any time. TSRP excludes taxes, title, license, dealer-installed options, accessories, fees and charges. TSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Toyota builds the Baja-inspired TRD Pro exclusively with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid. It pairs a turbocharged 2.4-liter engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission and part-time four-wheel drive with an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case. An electronically locking rear differential is standard, and the truck rides on Toyota’s TNGA-F global truck platform, which it shares with the Tundra, Land Cruiser, and Sequoia.
For drivers covering the San Fernando Valley around Van Nuys, the hybrid’s low-end torque delivers strong passing power with competitive EPA-estimated fuel economy for a fully equipped off-road pickup. To see the TRD Pro in person, visit our showroom at 1260 S Brand Blvd in Glendale or call our sales team at (818) 862-4995.

What Are the i-FORCE MAX Specifications on the 2026 Tacoma TRD Pro?
The i-FORCE MAX combines a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine with a 48-hp electric motor integrated into the eight-speed automatic transmission. A 288V sealed nickel-metal hydride battery pack sits under the rear seats. Total output is 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. The non-hybrid i-FORCE engine makes up to 278 hp and 317 lb-ft, so the hybrid adds 48 hp and 148 lb-ft.
Peak torque arrives at just 1,700 rpm, so the TRD Pro pulls hard from low speeds without waiting on the turbocharger.
