2027 Toyota Tacoma Near Lee’s Summit, MO
2027 Toyota Tacoma
A Taco model for every job — mild work-truck simplicity, spicy off-road capability, or a 326-hp hybrid in between. A 6-speed manual is still on the menu, and coil-spring trims smooth out the ride. See it near Lee's Summit, MO.
McCarthy Toyota of Sedalia
Mild work truck or spicy trail rig — your call
A mainstay in the mid-size pickup segment, the Toyota Tacoma can be configured as a mild rear-wheel-drive work truck or a spiced-up, boonie-bashing four-wheel-drive machine, with plenty of trims in between for buyers who want to split the difference. Both two-door XtraCab and four-door Double Cab body styles are available, and smooth-riding rear coil springs come standard on upper trims.
Two turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines are on offer, tuned for either 228 or 278 horsepower, alongside a 326-hp i-FORCE MAX hybrid available on select trims and standard on the off-road-focused Trailhunter and TRD Pro. Manual and automatic transmissions are both in the mix, but availability depends on trim, so it's worth checking the order sheet carefully. Toyota also equips the Tacoma with standard safety tech from the base model all the way to the top-tier Limited.
Recently redesigned, the Tacoma carries into 2027 largely unchanged, with a mid-cycle refresh not expected until the 2028 model year at the earliest.

- Rear coil springs smooth out harsh impacts

Worth Knowing

- Big power is reserved for the pricier hybrid
