Tacoma, 2WD Double Cab I4 AT PreRunner, PreRunner, Crew Cab Pickup, You wouldn't know it from the commercials on TV, but not all pickup trucks these days are thundering beasts built to tow your house off its foundation. There's also a "midsize" class of trucks, and the 2014 Toyota Tacoma is arguably its most distinguished member.For nearly a decade now, the current Tacoma has been meeting the needs of truck shoppers who value efficiency and manageable dimensions. And although the 2014 model is largely the same truck that debuted way back in 2005, the past few years have brought new technology features that keep the Tacoma feeling fresh.Last year, a basic 6.1-inch touchscreen became standard on all Tacoma models, even the stripped-down 4x2 Regular Cab. For 2014, the standard touchscreen is joined by an optional enhanced version for both Access and Double Cabs, and these models also offer mobile apps and navigation.Standard features on the rear-drive Tacoma include 15-inch steel wheels, a limited-slip rear differential, air-conditioning, a composite bedliner, a bed utility rail system, a cloth bench seat, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a 6.1-inch touchscreen display and a four-speaker CD audio system with iPod/USB connectivity and an auxiliary audio jack.The 2WD Double Cab adds upgraded cloth upholstery, full carpeting, power locks and windows, front bucket seats, a center console, an overhead console, fold-up rear seats with under-seat storage, and dual rear cupholders, plus black fenders, power mirrors, adjustable driver lumbar, a 60/40-split rear bench seat with adjustable headrests, rear bulkhead storage and rear climate vents.The V6 is rated at 236 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque.... The V6/automatic team yields 19 mpg combined (17/21) with rear-wheel drive. In Edmunds performance testing, a 4WD Tacoma Double Cab V6 with the automatic covered zero to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds -- suitably quick for a midsize truck. Properly equipped, a Tacoma V6 can tow up to 6,500 pounds.Standard safety equipment on the 2014 Toyota Tacoma includes antilock brakes (front disc, rear drum) with brake assist, stability control, front-seat side-impact airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and front active head restraints.In Edmunds brake testing, the aforementioned Double Cab 4WD V6 stopped from 60 mph in a commendable 126 feet.In government crash testing, the 2014 Toyota Tacoma received an overall rating of four stars out of five. Double Cab models received three out of five stars for frontal crash impact protection, and all other Tacomas received four stars. Access and Double Cab Tacomas received five stars for side crash protection.The 2014 Toyota Tacoma has a straightforward dashboard layout that puts practicality first, including simple three-dial climate knobs that are easily turned by gloved hands. Most panels are made of hard plastic, but build quality is perennially strong., Rear Wheel Drive,Power Ste
