Does the Toyota Tacoma come with the option for manual transmission?

I’m not sure if manual pickup trucks are very common these days. Can you get a Toyota Tacoma in a manual?

In general, manual transmissions are becoming less and less common. However, the 2022
Toyota Tacoma
does come with an optional 6-speed manual transmission! In fact, it might be the only mid-size truck still available with manual transmission.
The Tacoma is a pickup truck manufactured by the Japanese automaker
Toyota
, and it’s been on the market since 1995. The first-generation Tacoma, model years 1995 through 2004, was classified as a compact pickup. The second generation, model years 2005 through 2015, as well as the third generation, in production since 2015, are classified as mid-sized pickups.
Each and every model year of the Tacoma comes in your choice of automatic or manual transmission. And, in fact, for the 2022 model year, the automatic option behaves a bit clumsily—so we highly recommend the manual option if you’re already thinking about it!
The Tacoma isn’t going anywhere—Toyota already has released plans for the 2023 and 2024 models—and it looks like the manual transmission will be sticking around, too.
Whichever Tacoma you go with (or if you choose another pickup truck entirely!) make sure to protect it with top-notch
car insurance
