2022 Toyota Tacoma Interior and Cargo

How much cargo space you have all depends on the bed length you choose when configuring your truck. Measurements for the five-foot bed are 60.5 inches lengthwise, 41.5 inches in width, and 19.1 inches high. The longer six-foot bed adds an extra 13.2 inches of length. In either setup, you get access to loads of space, but exactly how much you can carry will depend on the specific payload capacity of the configuration you select. Here, you have to trade power and capability for GVWR, as some 4x4 Double Cab options only allow for a payload of up to 1,095 lbs, while the 4x2 Access Cab increases this to 1,685 lbs.

Around the cabin, there are not a lot of storage options. A few bins around the center console and some narrow door pockets can hold the smallest of items. But, if you want to stow anything larger, your only option is the glove compartment or the center armrest cubby.

The Tacoma is no luxury cruiser, but you get all the basics, even on the entry-level SR. These include air conditioning and power accessories, as well as a small 4.2-inch color driver-information display. The tilt/telescopic steering column is manually adjustable, though. A rearview camera complements the Toyota Safety Sense P suite, which comprises pre-collision avoidance, pedestrian detection, lane-departure alert, automatic high beams, and dynamic radar cruise control. Keyless entry and a leather-trimmed steering wheel are added on the SR5, while the Trail Edition is mostly the same, save for its trim-specific differences, because its standard equipment is based on that of the SR5. It does get a ten-way powered driver's seat though, as well as dual-zone climate control. TRD Sport expands the offering with keyless ignition, a leather-trimmed shift lever, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, wireless charging, and a 120-volt power outlet. Worth noting is that these features apply to the trims in their cheapest form; for instance, with the V6 engine and the Double Cab upgrades, an SR5 is far better equipped. The Limited and TRD Pro are the most extensively outfitted, with leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power moonroof, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and rear sonar. The Limited adds a panoramic view monitor and the TRD Pro adds a multi-terrain monitor.

The infotainment suite starts off with a seven-inch touchscreen on the SR, programmed with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth streaming, Wi-Fi, and Amazon Alexa. This is paired with a six-speaker sound system with access to SiriusXM. Upgrading to the SR5 increases the size of the screen to eight inches, while the Limited adds navigation, and upgrades the sound system to a six-speaker JBL unit. From the TRD Sport upwards, a wireless charging pad is standard. The TRD Pro offers all the same features but sticks with the standard audio setup, unless you opt for the automatic version, in which case the JBL sound system is included. Despite coming equipped with loads of modern features, the suite feels as old as the Tacoma, with slow responses and clumsy menus.
