Hybrid Performance

Powering the 2026 Toyota Tacoma i-FORCE MAX is a 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain that pairs a gas engine with an electric motor and traction battery.

An eight-speed automatic transmission delivers power smoothly, while the 4WD drivetrain enhances grip across varying road conditions. The hybrid system improves throttle response and efficiency without requiring plug-in charging, making it easy to live with day-to-day.
