The champ is back in the ring and in better shape than ever. After nearly 20 years of minor changes following Toyota’s time-honored product strategy of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” the brand has introduced an all-new Tacoma with a clean-sheet build, adding new trim levels, new powertrains, and all the creature comforts one now expects even in a mid-size pickup.
Not only is the 2025 Toyota Tacoma the most significant mid-size truck redesign in recent years, it’s also a pivotal response to a very competitive class of enthusiasts hungry for capability, technology and modern truck aesthetics.

Every manufacturer wanted a piece of the Tacoma’s milkshake. A bold redesign signals that Toyota is reading the room and subreddits when it comes to mid-size trucks for both adventure enthusiasts and everyday consumers.
Built on Toyota’s all-too-important TNGA-F global truck platform, the 2025 Tacoma features a more muscular exterior design with sharp body lines that break decisively from its predecessor’s friendly, rounded styling.
Toyota clearly looked at what Chevy, GMC and Nissan had done with their midsize trucks and put its own uniquely Toyota spin on the look, retaining enough traditional design language so as not to upset the Tacoma faithful.
Multiple terrain modes, advanced suspension systems and purpose-built off-road hardware ensure the Tacoma isn’t just a lifestyle accessory but a genuinely capable truck right off the lot.
