HONOLULU (HI Now) - Toyota’s newest generation of trucks and SUVs now come with two revolutionary options: the i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX engines—and they’re here to impress.
Let’s address the elephant in the room: yes, Toyota replaced the V6
The standard i-FORCE engine cranks out an impressive 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, making it more powerful than the previous V6. It’s built for daily driving, weekend hauling, and everything in between.
For those who want next-level performance, i-FORCE MAX is where it’s at. This 4-cylinder turbocharged hybrid powertrain pairs an electric motor with a gas engine to deliver 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque—making it the most powerful Tacoma ever made. The electric motor kicks in instantly, giving you immediate torque right off the line. Whether you’re merging onto H1, towing your boat to the west side, or crawling over off-road trails, the i-FORCE MAX responds with power you can feel.
Go to your Toyota Hawai‘i dealership and test drive the i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX engines in the all-new Tacoma to feel the power and performance first-hand. Learn more at toyotahawaii.com.
