Towing Capacity
The 2026 Tacoma is available in three powertrain configurations, each delivering strong towing capability. The gas-powered 4X4 Double Cab 8A and 4X4 Double Cab 6M trims both lead the lineup with a maximum towing capacity of 2,903 kilograms. The 4X4 Double Cab Hybrid follows closely with a towing capacity of 2,722 kilograms. All three configurations come equipped with a 69-litre fuel tank, giving you the range to tow further between fill-ups.
Payload Capacity
Payload is just as important as towing for truck buyers who regularly load their bed with cargo, tools, or equipment. The 2026 Tacoma delivers competitive payload figures across the board. Here's how the three configurations compare:
| Specifications |
4X4 Double Cab 8A |
4X4 Double Cab 6M |
4X4 Double Cab Hybrid |
| Towing Capacity |
2,903 kg |
2,903 kg |

640 kg |
690 kg |
730 kg |
| Gross Vehicle Weight |
2,723 kg |
2,800 kg |
3,075 kg |
Notably, the Hybrid configuration offers the highest payload capacity of the three at 730 kg, making it an excellent choice for drivers who prioritize both efficiency and cargo capability.
Bed Dimensions
The size of the cargo bed plays a big role in overall hauling capability. The Tacoma Double Cab is available in two bed lengths depending on configuration:
| Specifications |
6-ft Bed (8A) |
6-ft Bed (6M & Hybrid) |
| Cargo Bed Length |
1,867 mm |
1,532 mm |
| Cargo Bed Width |
1,136 mm |
1,136 mm |
| Cargo Bed Depth |
539 mm |
539 mm |
The 6-ft bed on the 8A configuration offers significantly more length for longer cargo, while the 5-ft bed on the 6M and Hybrid is a practical choice for those who prioritize maneuverability without sacrificing too much hauling room.
