Take a backbone forged from massive one-piece frame rails, eight equally strong cross members and
a fully boxed front sub-frame. Bolt on a body and a Sheet-Molded Composite (SMC) bed built for
abuse and supported by a leaf spring suspension with staggered outboard-mounted gas shocks. Offer
additional tough stuff like the available TRD Off-Road Package1 with Bilstein® shocks, 16-inch alloy
wheels with P265/70R16 BFGoodrich® tires, Hill Start Assist Control (HAC),2, 3 Downhill Assist Control(DAC)2, 3 and electronically locking rear differential. Now put it all to work with a choice of 4-cylinder or V6 engines that use Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) to pump maximum power from minimal fuel. You don?t equip a truck with all this if the worst it?s going to see are speed bumps and shopping carts. You assume it?s going to be put to the test in the kinds of go-for-broke gathering spots where the roads look like the surface of Mars, and everything in your path is an obstacle of sand, mud or snow that you?ll need to outhustle, outmuscle and outsmart. The 2011 Toyota Tacoma. Moving Forward.
