And it came with X-Runner (replacing the S-Runner), TRD package, TRD Extreme or T/X Baja, TRD Pro, and Ironman Edition. During this production run, Tacoma was powered by 2.7 L I4 or 4.0 L V6 coupled to 4-speed, 5-speed automatic and 5-speed, 6-speed manual transmissions. Current generation Toyota Tacoma was unveiled at the January 2015 Detroit Auto Show as a 2016 model. It now is available for 5 trim levels including the base SR, mid-level SR5, TRD Off Road, TRD Sport and the range-topping Limited.
