The 2012 Toyota Tacoma official price range has been set, from $17,685 for base models to $28,645 with a wide variety of optional upgrades.

The Tacoma Regular Cab 4x2 is powered by a 159-hp 2.7-liter I-4 engine matted to 5-speed manual transmission (that's the model going for $17,685). Heading up in trim, the top-of-the-line four-cylinder Access Cab 4x4 with automatic transmission comes in at $25,865, only $10 more than last year's version.

There are Tacoma models with 4.0-liter 236-hp V6 engines available, starting at $23,570 for rear-wheel drive. A Tacoma PreRunner Access Cab starts at almost the same price, and a top tier Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 V6 caps it all with a $28,645 MSRP.

Tacoma pickup's best in class safety, comfort and style from Toyota's truck will help drive home sales of this small work vehicle, available at Toyota of Wallingford.
