Toyota TACOMA BROCHURE 2011 User manual

2011

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 Package1with 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.

MORE MUSCLE. LESS MASS.
Pop the hood of a Tacoma and you’ll see a powertrain that’s mean yet lean. Whether you choose the
2.7-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder with VVT-i, or the available 4.0-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 with VVT-i,
you’ll get a highly efficient engine that has the key characteristic of a strong motor: the torque needed
to push you back into your seat.The 159-hp 4-cylinder churns out its peak torque of 180 lb.-ft. at
3800 rpm, while the 236-hp V6 hits a plateau of 266 lb.-ft. at 4000 rpm. And whether you go manual
or automatic,Tacoma gives you a transmission with the guts to make the most of every gear.

1BUILT TO BEAT THE HEAT
Available Bilstein®shocks know how to keep their cool for consistent
performance under pressure. Same goes for the ventilated front
disc brakes.
2POWERFUL AND STRONG
The design of Tacoma’s available V6 engine puts the spark plugs in the
center of the combustion chamber. This pentroof combustion creates a
cleaner, more efficient burn and increases both performance and efficiency.
3IT’S GOT BACKBONE
A truck’s frame is its source of strength. Tacoma is built on a rugged frame
strengthened with 8-in. cross members, beefed-up center side rails, and
rear inner-channel reinforcements.
2AVAILABLE V6 ENGINE WITH PENTROOF COMBUSTION
<AVAILABLE TRD COLD AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
Hot air robs engines of their power. The accessory TRD Cold Air Intake
feeds cooler, denser air into the engine, increasing both horsepower
and torque. It uses a conical air filter that can be cleaned of dust and
dirt and reused for the life of the truck.
1AVAILABLE BILSTEIN®SHOCKS AND VENTILATED DISCS
3RIGID FRAME CONSTRUCTION

TO THOSE EATING YOUR DUST:
SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT.
Choose your 2011 Toyota Tacoma with available 4-wheel drive and you know what’s going to happen:
The dirt is going to fly. With its 2-speed electronically controlled transfer case sending power to each
wheel automatically on an as-needed basis, the 4WD system delivers serious grip to the available
P265/70R16 BFGoodrich®tires. And the available electronically controlled locking rear differential1
lets you take on the trickiest low-traction scenarios with confidence. It’s an off-road experience you’ll
savor. Unlike those behind you.
MASTER OF CONTROL
Say you’re knee-deep in sand. Wouldn’t some extra traction come in
real handy? Tacoma’s available electronically controlled locking rear
differential1sends the flow of power distribution evenly to both rear
wheels. The result? In super-slippery, low-traction conditions, you'll get
more grip and less slip.
HOW IT WORKS
A steel sleeve actuator locks the slide gear to the ring gear, locking the rear
axles. Once locked, the rear axle can apply all its traction to getting the
truck moving in the right direction.
STOPPING POWER, INTELLIGENTLY APPLIED
Tacoma comes standard with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with
Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA).
2It’s
technology that helps ensure braking effectiveness by determining
how much brake force should be distributed between the front and rear
axles, depending on surface conditions and whether or not a “panic”
braking situation exists. It’s part of the Star Safety System™ that comes
standard on every 2011 Tacoma.

RUGGED OUTSIDE. REFINED INSIDE.
Underneath, Tacoma’s built to take abuse. Inside, it’s all about taking it easy. Slide into the driver’s
seat and adjust the tilt/telescopic steering wheel. Adjust the available driver’s-seat lumbar support.
Hooking up a trailer? Tacoma can turn that task from a burden to a breeze, thanks to an available
backup camera1that displays in the rearview mirror what the tailgate-mounted camera sees.
And Tacoma knows how much you enjoy your music. So it comes standard with an auxiliary audio
jack for your MP3 player, and there’s available XM®Radio2and an available JBL®audio system3
with a rear subwoofer for deep, rich bass.

2NOW HEAR THIS
Access Cab features an available subwoofer mounted between the rear
seats, adding extra oomph to the audio.
3EXTRA STRENGTH
The fiber-reinforced Sheet-Molded Composite (SMC) material in the
bed of the Tacoma isn’t a bedliner, it’s the bed itself. And it’s not just there
to look pretty. This rugged material actually provides better impact
strength than steel.

4AVAILABLE BACKUP CAMERA1
It’s always nice to have an extra set of eyes on things when you’re hooking up your trailer. That’s
why there’s an available backup camera. Mounted in the tailgate handle, it uses its rear-facing
vantage point to capture an image of what the camera sees behind the truck, and displays it
within a window integrated into the truck’s rearview mirror.
