Before, there was just one Toyota Venza. Oh sure, you could boost the equipment and outfitting by ordering option packages, but since its launch, the Venza has not carried a suffix. For 2012, Toyota is changing its strategy and now there are Venza LE, XLE and Limited trim levels for buyers to choose between.

The LE starts it off, and it gets cushier and better-equipped from there with the XLE and Limited, though even in the base model, you won't find a Venza without a six-disc changer, Bluetooth, and USB and auxiliary input. The top-dog Limited is a leather-lined, V6-powered box of rock thanks to a JBL Synthesis surround-sound audio system. Navigation, panorama roof, automatic high-beams are some other highlights. In between, the XLE covers the middle ground with a whole bunch of optional choices.

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.

Safety is the name of the new Toyota Camry's game.
