2019 Tacoma Exterior
The Tacoma offers rugged styling in a segment fast becoming obsessed with refinement instead of aggression. Daytime running lights are equipped on all models, but only become LED starting with the TRD Sport trim. The grille receives color-coding based on the trim, with the base model receiving dark gray, the SR5 a charcoal grille with chrome surround, and higher trims a gray grille with smoked finish and chrome surrounds. The TRD Pro receives further detailing in the form of the heritage-inspired "TOYOTA" front grille, black badging, overfenders, hood scoop, and color-coded mirrors and door handles. Wheel sizes and finishes vary by trim, with SR, SR5, TRD Off-Road, and TRD Pro models boasting 16-inch alloy wheels, while the TRD Sport gets 17-inch items, and the Limited receiving 18-inch alloys. The TRD Pro also receives a bespoke front skid plate and a dark chrome TRD exhaust.
We tested a 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport, which is the most on-road oriented of the TRD model. The Cavalry Blue paint found on our tester is among our favorites and pairs well with the retro-themed 'TRD 4X4 Sport' stickers on the bed.

Dimensions
Toyota sells the Tacoma in a range of combinations, with two varying body styles and two load bed lengths, five and six foot, the shorter of which is only available when paired with certain trims and the double cab body style. In its most compact format, the Tacoma Access Cab and short-bed Double Cab measure 212.3-inches in length, riding on a 127.4-inch wheelbase. In long-bed Double Cab format, these numbers grow to 225.5-inches and 140.6-inches respectively. Standard models measure 74.4-inches wide, while TRD models are broader still at 75.2-inches in width. All models with the exception of the TRD Pro stand 70.6-inches tall, the TRD Pro measuring a full inch taller with raised suspension. The TRD Pro also boasts the best off-road dimensions, with approach/departure/breakover angles of 35/26/39 degrees, with only the departure angle bested by the Access Cab TRD Off-Road's 29-degree effort. Curb weight varies substantially based on trim, body style, bed length, and drivetrain, with the lightest Tacoma tipping the scales at 3,980 lbs, while the heaviest model weighs in at 4,480 lbs.
