Watch out for this one. The 2013 Toyota Tacoma is clearly looking to start something. Like an ATV weekend
in the mountains. Or an off-roading trip to the beach. But there’s more to this truck than its aggressive
new front end. Tacoma is built to finish what it starts. It’s forged on massive one-piece frame rails
with eight sturdy cross members and a fully boxed front sub-frame. It’s got a rugged fi ber-reinforced
Sheet-Molded Composite (SMC) bed that provides better impact strength than steel. Plus, a leaf spring
suspension with staggered outboard-mounted gas shocks. And an available V6 engine with Variable
Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) that delivers maximum power on minimum fuel. If you still want to
up the ante, it’s also got a truckload of extras to choose from: an available TRD Off-Road Package with
Bilstein® shocks, 16-in. alloy wheels with P265/70R16 BFGoodrich® tires, Hill Start Assist Control (HAC),2
Downhill Assist Control (DAC)3 and an electronically controlled locking rear differential. So, a word to the
wise: Try to stay on Tacoma’s good side. Get behind the wheel. The 2013 Toyota Tacoma.
