What Makes the 2025 Toyota Tacoma So Tough and Tech-Savvy?

Have you been shopping for trucks for sale near Durham? If you're on the hunt for a midsize pickup with a long history of toughness and excellence, the Tacoma should be on your radar. You can find it across all of our locations, as well as Toyota experts who'd love to show you all that this impeccable truck has to offer.

For the 2025 model year, Toyota has given us a Tacoma that delivers the model's iconic muscular nature, along with technology that enhances command and productivity. It is truly as tough as it is tech-savvy, making it ideal for Bull City residents who are juggling jobs, fun, and daily life. Below, we'll cover the technology and functionality features that put the Tacoma at the top of our list of multifaceted pickups.

Technology That Will Boost Your Productivity

The 2025 Toyota Tacoma offers advanced technology that can keep up with busy Durham drivers. Whether you're dining out downtown, attending classes at Duke, or running a contractor business, you'll appreciate these thoughtful perks.

The 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor

Navigating busy streets and muddy off-road trails calls for a second (and a third, and a fourth) set of eyes. The Tacoma has them in its 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor. This smart system allows you to switch between the front, rear, and side-view cameras, enjoying real-time footage of what's happening around your vehicle. 

Whether you need to look out for pedestrians, tractors, or fallen branches, you'll be able to react quickly and precisely with this comprehensive footage guiding you. We know that professionals and adventurers alike will love the 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor. 

Dual USB-Cs With Fast Charging 

There are few things more destabilizing than being out and about with a dead phone. You need it to look up addresses for that next job site or client meeting, to find that remote hiking trail, and to know which streets are shut down in honor of CenterFest. 

Luckily, the 2025 Tacoma offers dual USB-C ports with fast charging capabilities, so you and your crew (be they coworkers, friends, or family) can quickly plug in and power up on the go. Plus, you won't have rear-seat passengers asking you to swap out for their turn at the USB port.

An Expansive Digital Rearview Mirror

When your cabin is full of passengers, it's not always easy to see what's happening behind your truck. And in the busy streets of Durham, a lot can be happening. That's why we know you'll like the digital rearview mirror.

At the push of a button, you can turn your rearview mirror into an additional display screen for your rearview camera, so all you have to do is look up to see what's going on behind your truck. You can always transition it back to a regular mirror for last-minute touch-ups before meetings and appointments.

Trailer Backup Guide With Straight Path Assist

Commanding a pickup can be a challenge in and of itself. Add a vessel behind it, and your job just got trickier. Here's some good news: Toyota designed the 2025 Tacoma with technology made to help you supervise and maneuver your vessel with greater command.

When you're moving in reverse with a trailer in tow, this feature keeps you on track. It controls steering on your towed vessel to ensure it moves in a straight line. Whether you're backing a horse trailer into a barn or a boat onto the water, you'll have fewer mishaps with this intelligent system.

The Tough Stuff That Helps Make Life Easier

From trade work to Blue Devils tailgates, Durham folks have events and responsibilities that call for a durable, reliable pickup. 

A Lightweight But Substantial Bed 

Let's first look at the Tacoma's bed. This aluminum-reinforced area boasts an ultra-durable sheet-molded composite surface that's both tough and lightweight. So go ahead and throw your toolbox or dirt bikes in there; the bed can handle it!

In-Bed Perks for Both Work and Play

You'll also find some available perks back here, perfect for camping or days of fishing and relaxing on Lake Michie. There's an available onboard air compressor, ready to power your tools like nail guns and sanders. Then, there's the available 2,400-watt AC power supply. 

Between the air compressor and power supply, you'll be able to use your power tools, with or without on-site wall outlets. The addition of exterior LED scene lighting can illuminate your workspace or campsite after the sun sets (or before it rises, if you're an earlybird).

Suspension Options for Different Scenarios

If you plan on doing some off-roading or simply need to travel down dirt roads to get to job sites, the 2025 Tacoma can handle it. An available stabilizer disconnect mechanism can boost articulation on bumpy roads. 

Multi-Terrain Select adjusts throttle and traction according to your selected drive mode. Meanwhile, available Crawl Control behaves like a low-speed cruise control in off-road settings, taking over braking and accelerating so you can focus on steering around boulders and berms.

Will you be covering some seriously tricky ground? The available electronically controlled locking rear differential improves traction in slippery settings. It sends equal amounts of power to all wheels, so all four will participate in propelling you forward, even if the ground begs to differ.
​

Full-Size Chassis, Midsize Dimensions

Do you plan on putting your Tacoma to the test on some of Durham's roughest roads or demanding job sites? This truck can handle it, thanks to Toyota's New Global Architecture-F platform (TNGA-F).

TNGA-F is the same platform found on the full-size Tundra. It uses high-strength steel and lightweight aluminum for a chassis that's built like a tank but doesn't feel like one in terms of maneuverability. The chassis even boasts laser welds for best-in-class rigidity. Whether you're rolling off-road or on construction sites, the Tacoma's chassis is battle-ready.
