Pickup trucks are constantly growing in popularity and are emerging as some of the most versatile vehicles on the market. Comfort and technology mix with classic truck qualities such as reliability and power, resulting in vehicles that are up for any job, from hauling cargo to family road trips! The 2020 Toyota Tacoma is a great example of an amazing midsize pickup truck and these are the main reasons to choose it as a partner, for both work-related and personal activities. Style Additions to the 2020 Model The Tacoma has been around since the mid-'90s, with the key to its continued success being constant improvements. It's not easy to improve upon an already great vehicle, but the engineers and designers at Toyota have done an amazing job for the 2020 model. On the outside, the changes are minor, but do a great job of keeping the truck looking modern. Small additions, such as more futuristic-looking headlights, a redesigned front grille, LED inserts, and new alloy wheel designs, manage to make the Tacoma look like a new vehicle without changing the style elements that made it popular. Modern Technology Not only is the 2020 Toyota Tacoma's interior supremely spacious and comfortable - it's also very rich in modern technology! All Tacomas come with a 7-inch touch-screen interface as standard equipment, upgradable to 8 inches. Connecting your smartphone to it is a breeze, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and USB ports available. Amazon Alexa's voice control is also supported, allowing the driver to control the vehicle's main infotainment functions with eyes remaining firmly on the road. Enough Power to Get the Job Done The 2020 Tacoma may be comfortable and fitted with modern technology, but a pickup truck is ultimately rated according to how it manages to do what it's designed to do. The two engines available for the Tacoma are a naturally aspirated 2.7-liter which produces up to 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque and a V-6 with 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. The 2020 model also gets re-tuned shocks and rear springs for better performance. The result is an impressive towing capacity of 6,800 pounds no matter which engine you choose. The Tacoma is also ready to go off-road if that's where the action is, with a push-button locking rear differential, hill-descent control, crawl control system, and five traction control modes available. Safety as a Top Priority From working on a construction site to dropping the kids off to school, high safety standards are crucial for any modern driver. Even the base version of the 2020 Toyota Tacoma is equipped with Toyota's Safety Sense P bundle that includes helpful functions like the lane departure alert, which notifies drivers when the car is drifting out of its lane; or the pre-collision system, which uses radar technology and cameras to detect potential collisions and assist the driver in avoiding them. The 2020 Toyota Tacoma is the standard for any modern pickup truck. From style and technology to power and safety, there are many reasons to choose the Tacoma as your next vehicle – so stop by 495 Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram for a test drive today! Image via toyota.com
