Mounted high above the clamp-shaped bumper sits slim, high technology headlights. They feature projection beam lamps with available LED Daytime Running Lights.
At the rear, the new locking tailgate emphasizes pickup's wide stance. The tailgate includes integrated spoiler and a stamped Tacoma logo as well as easy lowering feature. There is also an available tri-fold hard tonneau cover for securing the gear.
Inside, the interior includes "handlebar" design theme in the instrument panel, leather-trimmed seats and metallic accents as well as wide range of premium features.
