Off-Roading Excellence: Toyota’s Lineup of Capable and Reliable Trucks

Toyota is well-known for creating a wide variety of cars that are safe for the road, reliable, and typically budget-friendly. Toyota’s lineup of trucks is no different. In fact, Toyota trucks are some of the most capable truck options on the market. These trucks are built for hitting back trails, tracking through mud, and tackling rocky roads. So if you’re looking for an epic off-roading experience, you’ll be glad to know that Toyota has a few great truck options for you to choose from.

Beaverton Toyota has a variety of dependable trucks on hand for you to test drive, including the Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, and the Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX. Read on to discover how much you can accomplish on the road in one of these three models.

Toyota Tacoma

These four-door trucks are built to last and come with all the functions you need to go off-roading with confidence. When you purchase a Toyota Tacoma, you’ll have access to features such as the electronically locking rear differentials, which are perfect for off-roading. With them, you’ll be able to achieve more grip in low-traction conditions as engine power is evenly distributed between rear wheels so that they move at the same speed.

You’ll also enjoy more stability when navigating through hilly terrain with the Hill Start Assist Control option. This technology increases your overall safety while driving by helping to minimize backward movement when you switch your foot from the gas to the brake. Those few moments can create havoc when done on the wrong portion of a hill, but with the help of hill start assist control you’ll have more control than ever before.

You’d be surprised to learn how the media components of the Tacoma can help to enhance your off-roading and camping experiences, but they certainly can. The panoramic view monitor is one option that makes pulling up to and pulling out of campsites a lot easier. This option uses cameras conveniently placed in the front, back, and sides of the vehicle to allow you 360 degrees of visual access to what’s going on outside. You can further enhance your off-roading experience with Apple CarPlay compatibility, which will give you access to helpful tools like Apple Maps, Apple Music, and messages through your iPhone.

Utility doesn’t mean you have to settle for a lack of style, either. LED headlights, grade-specific tail lights, and chrome packages will draw attention wherever you roam.

Toyota Tundra

If you want a vehicle that’s able to work as hard as you, then you’ll be happy to learn about all that the Toyota Tundra has to offer. This vehicle is a true workhorse but is also up for the grandest adventures you can imagine. By combining premium comfort with rugged capability, you’ll find that the Toyota Tundra offered at Beaverton Toyota is among the top off-roading cars you’ll have the pleasure of viewing.

You’ll first be drawn to the exterior of this vehicle, which is conveniently offered in over 10 unique colors. So, if the car you see on the lot isn’t exactly screaming your name, know that there’s a great chance it can be offered in a color that’s more appealing to you. Options like Supersonic Red and Magnetic Grey Metallic have been known to steal the show for many drivers, but an eye-popping Solar Octane Orange is also available for drivers who want to make a statement.

As far as performance goes you can look forward to more gears, more torque, and more control when you decide on this vehicle. Its 10-speed automatic transmission allows you to have more control when off-roading, towing, or just running everyday errands. It also has an 18 to 24 estimated MPG to help you get to where you’re going as efficiently as possible. The Tundra also comes as a hybrid model.

The Toyota Tundra is a great option for drivers looking for a vehicle that can meet their off-roading expectations, but there are options and packages that can give your Tundra a bit more power, including Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, or Electronically Locking Rear Differential.

Tundra i-FORCE MAX

If you’re impressed by the Toyota Tundra but find yourself still wanting a little more, then you’ll be glad to know the Tundra i-FORCE MAX has that something extra you’re looking for, and it’s better than ever before. With the same look and general feel as the original Tundra, this vehicle offers an enhanced experience when it comes to power. With the elevated options, you’ll get a more personalized off-roading experience and more peace of mind while taking on difficult terrain.

One of the many things that makes the i-FORCE MAX different from the original Tundra is its engine. Its twin-turbo V6 engine is paired with an electric motor that allows it to generate an impressive 437 horsepower and 583 pounds per foot of torque. Its unique placement within the vehicle also allows it to run more efficiently without any unnecessary delays or discernible lag. By using its Power Control Unit (PCU) this motor is able to fill in the gaps of the torque curve, making it flatter and higher than some other models while delivering instant torque. These forces work together to create a truly thrilling off-roading experience for both drivers and passengers.

Speaking of off-roading, the Tundra i-FORCE MAX also comes standard with convenient options Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select. Crawl Control allows you to modulate the throttle and brakes on five low-speed settings, creating a smooth and quiet experience on rough terrain with the push of a button. With Multi-Terrain Select, you can also toggle through different terrain modes, including options like mud, sand, and rock to adjust your driving experience. This option helps regulate wheelspin by automatically adjusting the engine throttle and traction control, which pairs nicely with the Electronically Locking Rear Differential option.

Stop by Beaverton Toyota and take one of these favorite Toyota trucks—or all of them!—for a test drive.
