Moving? It’s Easier with a Tacoma!

Moving can be particularly stressful. There is enough to worry about without having to consider space, whether a vehicle can accommodate a move, and where you’re going to put all this stuff. A truck is typically the best choice for a move, but then you may still need to add a trailer for additional space, right? Having the right vehicle can certainly make a difference. 

That’s where the Toyota Tacoma comes in. This versatile and reliable pickup truck can simplify your move and give you all the support you need to make moving easier. Read more about this truck below. We invite you to check out our selection of options at Toyota of Grand Rapids! 

Moving with a Toyota Tacoma

Why would a Tacoma be the best fit? There are actually plenty of great benefits. The truck really is extremely versatile and reliable. Let’s look at some of the ways a Tacoma can make a move easier. 

Spacious Cargo Bed

The bed of the Tacoma is loaded with glorious space. When you’re packing up to move, space is a must! You can get a Tacoma with either a short or long bed option. Even the short option provides quite a bit of space for loading boxes, furniture, and more. With the different bed configurations, you can count on plenty of room to haul whatever you need. That capacity can save you trips, which means you also save time, effort, and probably money. 

The body work is very brawny, giving the truck a muscular build that lets you know loading up the cargo bed isn’t going to be a problem at all. 

Powerful Performance on the Move

The Toyota Tacoma easily ranks as one of the top choices in the mid-size pickup category. Performance is just one of the reasons it is a top choice. Its mid-size means it starts out using a four-cylinder engine that is turbocharged to give you the oomph you need. 

The different trim packages offer either a rear-wheel or four-wheel-drive option so you can get what you need. The lineup is a mighty force of power, with increasing power offered the higher you go in the trim package. These trucks use body-on-frame construction, and you can choose from two suspension options as well. Either way, they hold you steady with a refined ride, even when the bed is packed full of heavy items. 

The Tacoma has a towing capacity of 6500 pounds, which is great when you need that added capability. The payload capacity alone is up to 1700 pounds, allowing you to haul a fridge or other appliances with ease. The fuel economy is pretty good for a truck, with an average that ranges from about 21-26 MPG. 

Off-Road if Needed

Moving may not require you to drive off-road. However, if for any reason you need to, this truck is going to provide that. Plus, you may just need to be able to go have a little bit of fun after you’re finished moving. Navigating rough and uneven terrain is a breeze with the Tacoma. It can handle the most challenging conditions and even has added features that were designed for off-road capability. 

Simple things like suspension, advanced traction, and skid plates all contribute to this, letting you enjoy the vehicle and any potential moving conditions with confidence. 

Durable and Reliable for the Long Haul

Toyota has always been known for durability, and the Tacoma fits the reputation. It was made to handle tough conditions and hard work. It’s great for moving because it’s dependable and it can easily handle the abuse of a move. It’s going to perform consistently, and you shouldn’t have to worry about unwanted breakdowns or malfunctions. 

Enjoy Convenience, Too

You might not be really worried about the little details while you’re moving. You need a truck that delivers to the demands of the move, after all. However, it’s still nice to know that you have features that offer you convenience and might just simplify different parts of the move. 

Little things like tie-down points and a deck rail system can go a long way when it comes to securing your load. You also have a backup camera so you can still maneuver even when the cargo bed is packed full. These features give you practicality and safety for the move. 

Maximize Your Tacoma During a Move

Packing and Organizing Effectively

How you pack and organize your items in the truck is going to make a huge difference. Do your best to fill in all the little spaces available to get as much as you can in one load. Keep items organized and protected. Don’t forget to tie the load down also. Use boxes and moving bins that are durable and sturdy and that will stack well. 

Consider a Tonneau Cover

If you want to be able to protect your belongings for the move, you can invest in a Tonneau cover. This cover can help keep items protected if you have to move during rain or snow. It adds some security as well. A cover like this might limit how much you can load, but you can also remove it or fold it back out of the way for larger items if needed. 

Add a Trailer

Thanks to the towing capacity of the Tacoma, you don’t have to fit everything in the truck. You can also rent or use a trailer to fit more belongings and move more things at one time. If you have a long distance for the move, this often makes more sense than making multiple trips for items. Trailers also handle larger items better.
