| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Ground clearance: | 217 mm (8.5 inches) | 239 mm (9.4 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Toyota Tacoma can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Toyota Tacoma version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from two 4x4 versions of Toyota Tacoma 2020 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
