2026 Tacoma Towing Features & Technology
Toyota equipped the 2026 Tacoma with advanced towing features, making it easier, safer, and more intuitive to haul whatever you need:
- Trailer Backup Guide with Straight-Path Assist: This smart system uses sensors and cameras to help keep your trailer aligned when you’re reversing. When activated, it can automatically steer to help you back up in a straight line, reducing driver workload.
- Integrated Trailer Brake Controller: The Tacoma can come with a built-in brake controller, which improves stability and control when towing heavy loads.
- Blind Spot Monitor with Trailer Detection: This system extends the usual blind spot coverage to monitor the area around a trailer. When Toyota detects a trailer, BSM adjusts to alert you to potential hazards not just for the truck, but for the trailer itself.
- Wireless Trailer Camera: Available as an option, this adds a rear-facing camera mounted on the trailer, feeding a live HD video stream to the Tacoma’s digital rearview mirror, offering better visibility behind you.
- 360° Simulated Top-Down View: When using the backup guide, the system can simulate a bird's-eye view around the vehicle and trailer, which helps with maneuvering.
- Digital Gauge Cluster: The available 12.3-inch full-color digital instrument panel helps you monitor critical towing info, such as trailer angle, steering inputs, and system feedback.
