TCC’s Bottom Line

If you’re going off-road, consider the 2018 Toyota 4Runner. It’s a trusty tool for any kind of expedition, but it’s not so civilized around town.

The 2018 Toyota Tacoma is a mid-size pickup with the right-sized attitude: it’s nimble off road, capable, and just enough truck for many buyers.

TCC Likes

Off-road ability
Solid, trucky feel
Rugged style

Impressive off-road chops
Smooth and competent V-6
Available manual transmission

TCC Dislikes

Ride can be choppy
Doesn’t handle especially well
Limited safety features

Pokey base engine
Interior trims can be over the top
Pricey in top trims
