MakerSource: 2021 Tacoma Product Information

¹ With the V6 Tow Prep Package: the maker’s figure for the configuration with that factory option.

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

02 / What changed

New for 2021

The 2021 Tacoma against the 2020, the previous model year we hold. Only what Toyota’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

Added: 1 configuration (Limited Nightshade Double Cab 5-ft bed 4x4 V6 6AT).
Payload: 1,135–1,685 lb (2020: 1,120–1,620 lb).
Curb weight: 3,915–4,465 lb (2020: 3,980–4,480 lb).
Same range as the 2020: towing, ground clearance and length.
Payload differs on 32 of 32 configurations sold in both years: −65 to +65 lb.
Curb weight differs on 23 of 23 configurations sold in both years: −65 to +65 lb.

The 2021 documents

2 documents behind the 2021 Tacoma’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.

Documents last checked Oct 9, 2026. How we read them and what the marks mean: how we source the numbers. A figure doesn’t match its document? Report a wrong number.

These are Toyota’s published figures for the models it describes, not a weighbridge or a tape measure; your own vehicle’s options change them. Found a figure that doesn’t match the document? Tell us.
