Toyota's venerable Tacoma is still one of the most capable mid-sized pickups when it comes to tackling harsh terrain and hauling heavy cargo. On top of its legendary reliability, the truck boasts a slew of great standard features and options, including driver assistance technology and off-roading equipment. Here's your quick introductory guide to the new 2022 Toyota Tacoma! more Basics About the 2022 Toyota Tacoma Engine and Transmission The base model Tacoma is powered by Toyota's dependable 2.7L inline-four engine with an output of 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. Other models will be fitted with a 3.5L V6 that excels at heavy-duty tasks with its 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission with intelligent shifting pairs well with either engine, but traditionalists will appreciate the option of an excellent six-speed manual. All Tacomas easily meet the most stringent low-emission standards set by the EPA. Towing and Hauling Capability Rear-wheel-drive versions of the Tacoma with the 2.7L engine carry the highest maximum payload at 1,685 pounds. The truck can easily handle towing duties with its 6,400-pound capacity and Class-IV towing hitch receiver when you select the V6 and four-wheel drive. V6 Tacomas also feature the handy Trailer-Sway Control system, which keeps everything steady during high winds. Off-Road Performance The Tacoma wouldn't be a Toyota truck if it didn't have its outstanding off-roading ability. Its 4WDemand four-wheel drive system is available on most models and features an automatic limited-slip differential that helps you to keep full control of the truck on the toughest trails. Hill Start Assist makes it easy to get the Tacoma started on steep inclines while Crawl Control automatically maintains speed, so that you only have to worry about steering. For dedicated off-roaders, there's the TRD Pro trim, which has been beefed up with a skid plate, specially tuned suspension that features Bilstein shock absorbers, and 2.5-inch FOX Internal Bypass coil-overs. Passenger Cabin Just like the truck's exterior, the inside is durable enough to handle excursions into rugged environments. Despite that, it manages to stay comfortable with its generous amount of soft-touch materials and amenities, such as dual-zone climate control. For added comfort, TRD Pro and Limited models are available with fine leather upholstery. There's also available heated seating and a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat with 2-way lumbar support. Technology Most Tacoma trims are equipped with an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Multiple USB ports are present throughout the cabin, so that passengers can connect and charge their devices. Cameras placed around the truck's exterior will give you a full 360-degree view of your surroundings with the available Panoramic View Monitor. Thanks to its Toyota Safety Sense P technology suite, the Tacoma features the highest number of driver safety assists in its segment. Every model will come with Toyota's forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure monitoring systems to help keep occupants safe. For the 2022 model year, the Toyota Tacoma continues to keep its reputation as one of the toughest pickup trucks on the market.

Drivers deserve to feel confident that their purchase is fully protected when they buy a new vehicle, and that's why we here at your local Toyota dealership are so excited to be able to take you through all of the great features of the Toyota warranty on new cars. To share the news, we put together this quick article to take you through everything covered by Toyota's generous new car warranty! more Tips from a Toyota Dealership: What's Included in a Standard Toyota Warranty? 1. Basic "Bumper-to-Bumper" Coverage for 3 Years/36,000 Miles Toyota's "Basic" warranty is the standard "bumper-to-bumper" coverage which covers (you guessed it) all the components of your vehicle that rest between the two bumpers. Which is to say, it covers it all! This includes all electrical parts and mechanical components. This warranty will cover just about everything in your Toyota for 3 years, or until you've driven 36,000 miles in it, whichever of those two comes first. 2. Powertrain Protection for 5 Years/60,000 Miles When your bumper-to-bumper coverage expires, fear not, because Toyota still offers warranty coverage on your new vehicle's powertrain for up to 5 years, or until you've clocked 60,000 miles on your Toyota. While not as extensive as the bumper-to-bumper warranty, Toyota's powertrain protection still covers the essentials: your engine, transmission, and drivetrain (including all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive components if applicable). 3. Accessories Warranty for 3 Years/36,000 Miles This part of the warranty will cover you for any Toyota-brand accessories you add to the vehicle at the time of purchase, and that coverage will last for 3 years or 36,000 miles. There's even coverage available for Toyota-brand accessories you add later on, but this coverage lasts for 1 full year from the time of installation rather than the 3 years offered when installed upon purchase. 4. Corrosion Perforation Protection for 5 Years/Unlimited Miles Depending on where in the country you live, rust is going to be more or less of a problem, but regardless of where you are you'll be given 5 years of unlimited mileage for coverage for any perforations on your vehicle's body panels due to rust. This means that Toyota will replace/repair any spots where your vehicle's body rusts through during the first 5 years of its life. A definite blessing for those who live and drive where the roads are salted every winter! 5. Hybrid Battery Warranty for 10 Years/150,000 Miles If you've chosen to go the route of buying one of Toyota's lauded hybrid vehicles, their warranty package has a little something extra to offer you, too! The recently-upgraded hybrid battery warranty from Toyota will cover issues with your vehicle's battery, electric drivetrain, and other hybrid-related components for 10 years or 150,000! With everything offered by Toyota's generous standard warranty, buying a new Toyota is guaranteed to bring you peace of mind and worry-free driving for years to come!

Your Toyota's transmission works harder than any other component in your vehicle. This complex piece of engineering is designed to convert the raw power of your engine into polished precision. This conversion of uncontrolled to controlled power is brought about by the system of gears inside the transmission. The constant work and huge amount of parts mean your transmission can suffer damage. If you need a transmission repair, your Toyota dealer in Rochester, MN can help you. more Signs You Need a Transmission Repair at Your Toyota Dealer Strange Sounds From the Transmission When your transmission is working correctly, you won't hear any sound. Buzzing, whining, or clunking sounds from the engine compartment mean that something is malfunctioning. These sounds may not necessarily be related to your transmission, but they do need to be investigated. If you're experiencing strange behavior from the transmission, however, that would be the first place to look. If your automatic transmission is suffering, one of the first signs is a buzzing sound. This sound will grow progressively worse and will turn into an annoying whining sound. The usual cause of this sound is a lack of transmission fluid, but there may be a deeper issue that our technicians will need to check. Clunking sounds are the equivalent of noises made by a manual transmission. Manual transmissions always make harsher sounds than automatic ones. Shaking and Grinding From the Transmission Another early sign of a transmission problem is a shaking feeling with the transmission changing gears. You may notice a slight hesitation between your transmission shifting gears and the new gear engaging. This problem will become worse and more jarring if it's not corrected. Some of the causes are a lack of transmission fluid or a problem with your transmission computer. Manual transmissions are quite rare these days. If you have a manual transmission and experience a grinding sound when you change the gears, there's a transmission problem. Worn gear teeth, a lack of transmission fluid, or a loose transmission or engine mount could cause the noise. Our technicians will diagnose and repair the problem. Transmission Leak The hundreds of constantly moving parts in your engine need to be protected from damaging each other. The purpose of transmission fluid is to lubricate the various parts and provide a friction barrier between them to reduce wear and tear. This fluid also helps to reduce the temperature in transmission and to provide the hydraulic power to allow your gears to shift easily. Transmission fluid, unlike engine oil, is not used up as the transmission works. This fluid is bright or dark red, and a puddle of this fluid under your car means there's a transmission leak. The leak could come from a damaged seal or gasket or a worn transmission pan. Our technicians will trace the source of the leak and fix it. Transmission faults are relatively inexpensive if they're repaired in the early stages of the problem. If you have doubts about your transmission health, call us at Rochester Toyota.
