off-roading trip. Tacoma is forged on massive one-piece frame rails. It’s got a Sheet-Molded Composite
(SMC) bed that provides better impact strength than steel. And an available V6 engine with Variable
Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). It’s also got available Hill Start Assist Control (HAC),4 Downhill
Assist Control (DAC)5 and an electronically controlled locking rear differential. So stay on Tacoma’s
good side. Get behind the wheel. The 2012 Toyota Tacoma. Moving Forward.
