Just like its brother, the Chevy Colorado, Canyon returns to the small pickup market revamped with a new powertrain, modern exterior and practical features. However, the 2015 Tacoma delivers much more with its great value, impressive upscale technology and rugged off-road capability1. Plus, with its new TRD Pro models, Tacoma offers extra off-road capability and fun backed by Toyota’s factory warranty.

Tacoma Key Advantages & Accolades PERFORMANCE: While Canyon has more horsepower and torque, Tacoma PreRunner and 4WD models have higher approach (35° vs. 17.3°) and departure (26° vs. 22.1°) angles, and also include engine and front suspension skid plates. Plus, with the TRD Off-Road Package, Tacoma features an off-road suspension with Bilstein® shock absorbers COMFORT: Tacoma has more shoulder room and more rear head and hip room than Canyon CONNECTIVITY: Both Tacoma and Canyon have a variety of standard and available enhanced connectivity features, but 2015 Tacoma offers the available Entune® App Suite4 for added functionality with the ability to purchase movie tickets, make dinner reservations and much more all from the head unit. Although, Canyon has a larger touch-screen (8-in. vs. 6.1-in.), the only app it features is standard Pandora®5 internet radio on SLE and SLT grades UTILITY: Tacoma comes standard with the Deck Rail System with four tie-down cleats and a fiber-reinforced Sheet-Molded Composite inner bed with storage compartments and rail caps for added utility. Canyon’s deck rail system is offered for an extra cost SAFETY: With the TRD Off-Road Package, Tacoma Double Cab comes standard with Hill Start Assist (HAC)6 and Downhill Assist Control (DAC)7. While Canyon SLT has standard HAC6, it doesn’t offer DAC7

PANDORA®, the PANDORA® logo, and the Pandora trade dress are trademarks or registered trademarks of Pandora Media, Inc., used with permission. 6. HAC is designed to help minimize backward rolling on steep ascents. It is not a substitute for safe driving judgment and practices. Factors including grade, surface conditions and driver input can all affect whether HAC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. See Owner’s Manual for details. 7. DAC is designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control and speed on steep, downhill descents. It is not a substitute for safe driving judgment and practices. Factors including speed, grade, surface conditions and driver input can all affect whether DAC will be effective in preventing a loss of control.

Actual mileage will vary. 13. All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate. To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death.

Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether TSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. See Owner’s Manual for details. 21.
