Roanoke drivers put trucks to work differently depending on the day — hauling a kayak out to Carvins Cove one weekend, then loading up job-site equipment the next. Toyota’s 2026 truck lineup covers both ends of that range: the Tacoma brings midsize agility and real off-road credibility, while the Tundra delivers full-size muscle when the job calls for it. Here’s what you need to know about both of these leading new models.
Every 2026 Tundra runs on a twin-turbo 3.4L V6, available in two configurations depending on what you’re hauling:
Ten trims run the full spectrum, from the job-ready SR and SR5 through Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, and Capstone, with the off-road-tuned TRD Pro at the top. Every configuration includes real trailering tech — Trailer-Sway Control and an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller standard, with Straight Path Assist and a Panoramic View Monitor available on higher trims to make backing up to a hitch far less nerve-wracking.
Payload tops out at 1,850 pounds on a properly configured SR — enough for landscaping equipment, a full load of gear for an Explore Park camping trip, or whatever the job throws at you.
The Tacoma has earned its reputation in the midsize class over the years, and the 2026 lineup is its deepest yet — 11 trims split across six gas-powered and five hybrid configurations:
| Trim | What Sets It Apart |
|---|---|
| SR | The foundational Tacoma, running the standard 2.4L turbo 4-cylinder |
| SR5 | Comfort upgrades and a revised suspension on Double Cab models |
| TRD PreRunner | RWD XtraCab with a front suspension lift — off-road stance without losing tow capacity |
| TRD Sport | Sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch wheels, 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster |
| TRD Off-Road | Electronically locking rear diff, available Multi-Terrain Select |
| TRD Sport/TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX |
Hybrid versions of Sport and Off-Road |
| Limited | Adaptive variable suspension, SofTex leatherette, chrome accents |
| Limited i-FORCE MAX | Limited trim paired with the top-tier hybrid powertrain |
| Trailhunter | Factory-built overlander — heavy-duty suspension, high-clearance hardware, underbody protection |
| TRD Pro | FOX internal bypass shocks, IsoDynamic front seats, hybrid power standard |
The i-FORCE MAX hybrid system makes up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, and a properly equipped Tacoma tows as much as 6,500 pounds — enough for a boat launch at Carvins Cove or a loaded equipment trailer heading up Route 220. Pick between an 8-speed automatic or, on select trims, a 6-speed intelligent manual, with highway efficiency reaching 26 MPG.
No matter where the road takes you, Haley Toyota of Roanoke has the new truck for you. Whether you need maneuverability, strong fuel economy, or trail capability, or maximum towing and payload for your heaviest jobs, our team can walk you through the best option for you from start to finish.
Between 3,500 and 6,500 pounds depending on trim and configuration — SR5 and TRD PreRunner sit at the top of that range.
Gas models range from 8,300 to 12,000 pounds; i-FORCE MAX hybrid models top out around 11,450 pounds.
Its max rating is slightly below the gas SR5’s ceiling, but the extra torque makes a real difference getting a heavy load moving and climbing grades — a genuine advantage if you tow often rather than occasionally.
Yes, on the SR trim — a 6-speed intelligent manual is available alongside the 8-speed automatic offered across the rest of the lineup.
