The 2027 Toyota Tacoma is expected to be a light update of the current fourth-generation truck, which arrived for 2024. The one confirmed change so far is a new Honeycomb paint color for the TRD Pro. Toyota has not announced 2027 prices, but the 2026 Tacoma starts at $34,190 with destination, so the 2027 is expected to start around $34,500 to $35,000. Expect it at dealers in late 2026 or early 2027.
Below you will find everything expected for the 2027 Tacoma: prices, trims, engines, towing, colors, and how it compares with the 2026 model. We clearly mark what Toyota has confirmed and what is still an estimate.

What’s New for the 2027 Toyota Tacoma?
Confirmed: New Honeycomb Color for the TRD Pro
In July 2026, Toyota announced a new signature color for its 2027 TRD Pro models. The Tacoma, Tundra, and Sequoia TRD Pro get Honeycomb, a warm, yellow-inspired shade that replaces 2026’s turquoise Wave Maker. The 4Runner TRD Pro gets a related color called Hot Honey. Toyota also said red recovery tow hooks are standard on its 2027 TRD Pro models.
Expected: Small Updates Only
Edmunds says no major changes are expected for 2027. CarsDirect thinks Toyota could make small updates to the exterior, interior, and tech, but Toyota has not confirmed any of these. The turbo four-cylinder engine, the hybrid, and the manual transmission are all expected to carry over.
What Changed for 2026 (Carrying Into 2027)
The 2026 Tacoma brought several updates that should continue for 2027:
- Black front Toyota logo on TRD Off-Road, TRD Sport, and TRD PreRunner models
- Heritage Blue replaced Blue Crush Metallic
- Tow hitch made standard on the SR XtraCab
- Adaptive Variable Suspension made standard on all Limited trims
- New 18-inch TRD wheels with 32-inch all-terrain tires in the TRD Off-Road i-FORCE Premium Package
2027 Toyota Tacoma Release Date
Toyota has not announced an exact date. Edmunds and CarsDirect both expect the 2027 Tacoma in fall 2026. Toyota said its 2027 Tundra and Sequoia TRD Pro production starts in fall 2026, and Tacoma details were expected to follow later.
| Milestone | Expected timing |
|---|---|
| Official 2027 prices and details | Fall 2026 (expected) |
| First 2027 trucks at dealers | Late 2026 to early 2027 (expected) |
| TRD Pro in Honeycomb | Expected after the main launch, as TRD Pro colors often arrive a little later |
When can I buy a 2027 Tacoma? Most buyers should be able to buy one in late 2026 or early 2027. Ask your local Toyota dealer about their 2027 allocation list.
Is the 2027 Toyota Tacoma out yet? Not as of October 2026. Dealers are still selling 2026 models.

Expected 2027 Toyota Tacoma Prices
Toyota has not released 2027 prices. Below are our expected 2027 prices. We added about 1 percent to each 2026 price, which matches the typical yearly change CarsDirect uses. Prices include destination and are rounded. These are estimates, not official Toyota prices.

2027 Toyota Tacoma Trims Explained
| Trim | Who it’s for | Expected engine |
|---|---|---|
| SR | Budget and work buyers | 2.4L turbo; manual available |
| SR5 | Everyday value with more features | 2.4L turbo |
| TRD PreRunner | Off-road look with rear-wheel drive | 2.4L turbo |
| TRD Sport | Sporty street handling | 2.4L turbo, manual, or hybrid |
| TRD Off-Road | Trail use with off-road hardware | 2.4L turbo, manual, or hybrid |
| Limited | Luxury and comfort | 2.4L turbo or hybrid |
| Trailhunter | Overlanding and camping | Hybrid |
| TRD Pro | Maximum off-road performance | Hybrid |
TRD Sport vs TRD Off-Road
Both look tough, but they are tuned differently. The TRD Sport focuses on on-road handling and style. The TRD Off-Road adds trail-focused hardware and off-road features. If you mostly drive on pavement, the TRD Sport is the better daily truck. If you plan to explore dirt roads and trails, choose the TRD Off-Road.
Trailhunter vs TRD Pro
The Trailhunter is built for overlanding, which means long trips into remote areas with camping gear. It has 33-inch rugged-terrain tires and rock rails. The TRD Pro is built for high-performance off-roading. Both are top-tier trucks with the hybrid powertrain. Choose the Trailhunter for slow, loaded travel, and the TRD Pro for aggressive trail driving.
Is the Tacoma TRD Pro Worth the Money?
It is worth it if you will use its off-road ability often. At around $66,000 to $67,000, it costs about $22,000 more than a TRD Off-Road. Many buyers will be happy with a TRD Off-Road and a few accessories. The TRD Pro makes sense if you want the most capable Tacoma right from the factory.
Engines and Performance
No engine changes have been reported for 2027. These are the expected 2027 powertrains, based on Toyota’s 2026 specs:
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4L turbo (SR) | 228 to 270 hp | 243 to 310 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic or 6-speed manual |
| 2.4L turbo (SR5 and higher, automatic) | 278 hp | 317 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
| 2.4L turbo (manual, TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road) | 270 hp | 310 lb-ft | 6-speed manual |
| i-FORCE MAX hybrid | 326 hp | 465 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic |
Power figures from Toyota and Edmunds for the 2026 Tacoma. The SR’s exact rating depends on configuration.
What torque means: Torque is the pulling force you feel when you press the gas from a stop or tow a trailer. The hybrid’s 465 lb-ft makes it feel strong when hauling or climbing hills.
Will the 2027 Tacoma Have a V6?
No. Toyota dropped the 3.5-liter V6 when the fourth-generation Tacoma arrived for 2024. A V6 has not been announced for 2027. The i-FORCE MAX hybrid already makes more power and torque than the old V6, which made 278 hp and 265 lb-ft.
Will Toyota make a V6 Tacoma again? Toyota has not announced plans to. Like most automakers, Toyota is moving toward turbo four-cylinder and hybrid engines for better fuel economy.
Is the old 3.5L V6 reliable? The previous-generation Tacoma’s V6 has a good reputation among owners. If you are shopping used, a well-maintained V6 truck with service records is a solid choice, but always get a pre-purchase inspection.
Is There a 2027 Tacoma Hybrid or EV?
Yes, there is a hybrid. The i-FORCE MAX hybrid is expected to continue for 2027 on the TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited, Trailhunter, and TRD Pro. There is no electric Tacoma, and Toyota has not announced one.
Fuel Economy, Towing, and Payload
| Spec (expected, based on 2026) | Figure |
|---|---|
| Hybrid fuel economy | About 23 mpg combined |
| 2.4L turbo highway fuel economy | Up to 26 mpg highway |
| Max towing | 6,500 lbs |
| Max payload | 1,705 lbs |
Source: Toyota’s 2026 Tacoma announcement. 2027 EPA ratings are not yet posted.
Towing vs payload: Towing is how much you can pull on a trailer. Payload is how much weight you can carry in the cab and bed, including people.
A 6,500-pound rating covers most small campers, boats, and utility trailers. If you need more, the full-size 2027 Toyota Tundra tows much more.
Interior and Technology
The current Tacoma has an 8-inch touchscreen as standard and an available 14-inch touchscreen. Hybrid models get a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available. Upper trims offer a surround-view camera, a wireless trailer camera, and a Multi-Terrain Monitor for off-road driving. These features are expected to continue for 2027.
The Tacoma comes as an XtraCab (on SR, SR5, and TRD PreRunner) or a four-door Double Cab, with a 5-foot or 6-foot bed. This gives buyers more choices than some rivals that offer only one cab and bed.
2027 Toyota Tacoma Colors
Toyota has confirmed only one 2027 color change so far: Honeycomb for the TRD Pro. Based on the 2026 lineup, these are the expected 2027 Tacoma colors:
| Color | Status |
|---|---|
| Honeycomb | New for 2027, TRD Pro (confirmed) |
| Black | Expected to return |
| Ice Cap | Expected to return |
| Celestial Silver Metallic | Expected to return |
| Underground | Expected to return |
| Mudbath | Expected to return |
| Heritage Blue | Expected to return |
| Bronze Oxide | Expected to return |
| Supersonic Red | Expected to return (premium) |
| Wind Chill Pearl | Expected to return (premium) |
| Wave Maker | Replaced by Honeycomb on the TRD Pro |
What color will the 2027 TRD Pro be? Honeycomb is the new signature TRD Pro color for 2027. TRD Pro models usually offer a few other colors too.
2026 vs 2027 Toyota Tacoma
| Feature | 2026 Tacoma | 2027 Tacoma (expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Fourth generation | Same |
| TRD Pro signature color | Wave Maker | Honeycomb (confirmed) |
| Engines | 2.4L turbo, i-FORCE MAX hybrid | Same |
| Starting price | $34,190 | About $34,500 |
| Max towing | 6,500 lbs | 6,500 lbs |
Should you buy a 2026 or wait for 2027? If you want the Honeycomb TRD Pro, wait. For any other trim, a 2026 Tacoma at a good price is a smart buy because the trucks are expected to be nearly the same. Read our earlier Toyota Tacoma guide for more background on this generation.
2027 Tacoma vs Rivals
- Ford Ranger: Offers up to 7,500 lbs of towing and the high-performance Raptor, plus a new Tremor for 2027. See our 2027 Ford Ranger guide.
- Chevy Colorado: Rated to tow up to 7,700 lbs with a strong turbo four-cylinder.
- Toyota 4Runner: If you want Tacoma toughness in an SUV, look at the 2026 Toyota 4Runner.
The Tacoma’s main strengths are its many trims, a strong hybrid, a manual option, and Toyota’s reputation for durability and resale value. Its lower towing rating is the main trade-off.
Ownership Costs, Insurance, and Warranty
| Warranty coverage | Length |
|---|---|
| Basic | 3 years or 36,000 miles |
| Powertrain | 5 years or 60,000 miles |
| Corrosion | 5 years, unlimited miles |
| Hybrid components | 8 years or 100,000 miles |
| Hybrid battery | 10 years or 150,000 miles |
Based on Toyota’s 2026 Tacoma warranty. Expected to continue for 2027.
