5 reasons to buy the 2015 Toyota Tacoma
1. Ready to off-road
If your idea of camping is finding a remote location with no cell reception but plenty of four-wheel-drive tracks, the 2015 Toyota Tacoma might be for you if you opt for the available four-wheel drive system. If you're really into exploring the back woods, the TRD Pro Off-Road package comes equipped with everything an adventurer needs. This gives the 2015 Toyota Tacoma off-road shocks and an upgraded suspension, hill descent control, and an electronically controlled locking rear-wheel differential.
2. Towing and hauling capabilities
Sure, the 2015 Toyota Tacoma is a compact pickup, but its towing and hauling capacities are noteworthy. Whether you're towing small equipment like four-wheelers or hauling home renovation supplies like new flooring, the Tacoma can deliver. With the available 236-hp 4L V6, the 2015 Toyota Tacoma can haul a payload of up to 1,500 pounds and tow up to an estimated 6,500 pounds when properly equipped.
3. Hidden storage
Interior storage is tricky in a pickup truck. But if you're searching for a place to stash your most valuable hand tools or a spare change of clothes, the 2015 Toyota Tacoma has a surprise: a hidden storage compartment behind the back row of seats. This feature is only available on double cab Tacomas, which have four doors and seat five people.
4. Easy to clean
If you're walking around muddy job sites all day or playing on rough off-road tracks, the last thing you want to worry about is dirtying your truck's interior. The 2015 Toyota Tacoma is ready for work, with available waterproof removable floor mats. These make it easy to spray away a mess before heading off to create the next one.

Whether you need to tie down a load of yard clippings or plug in your tools, the Tacoma has you covered. The 2015 Toyota Tacoma comes with standard bed features like eight tie-downs and available extras, including a 115-volt power outlet, making your life easier when you're camping or working on a site without power.
