2023 Toyota Tacoma Engine Rumors
The most exciting news is that the 2023 Toyota Tacoma will be more potent than before. Under the hood, there’s a choice of two engines. The standard engine is powered by a 2.7-liter 4-cylinder that produces 159 horsepower. However, it seems that this engine will provide more power under the new model. Many reports are suggesting at least 200 horses, which is a significant boost. Power will be most likely routed to the rear wheels (2WD) or all four (4WD) but only via a 6-speed automatic transmission.
A more powerful choice is the 3.5-liter V6 that offers around 120 more horses and a significant boost in torque. On top of that, this machine provides an almost identical fuel-economy figure as the smaller 4-cylinder.

The debut of 2022 Toyota Tacoma is set for the following year. As we mentioned, we should expect more attractive styling, but noting significant compared to the current model. Also, the manufacturer will introduce a more comfortable cabin, filled with plenty of new techs.
The recent pickup starts at less than $27k for the 4-cylinder Tacoma SR Access Cab begins. Moreover, the mid-trim Tacoma TRD Sport or Off-Road model will begin in the mid-$30,000 range. Compared with other trucks in the same class, the Toyota Tacoma is in the same pricing line with the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon and Nissan Frontier models.
