What a Tacoma Can Pull, Trim by Trim Backing a loaded trailer down a boat ramp is where a spec sheet gets real. One number on your door jamb decides how that morning goes. And across the 2026 Tacoma lineup, that number varies by 3,000 pounds. Gas-powered XtraCab models carry the highest rating in the lineup at 6,500 pounds. Gas Double Cab trucks pull 6,400 pounds, while a base SR with the automatic stops at 3,500 pounds. Every i-FORCE MAX hybrid tops out between 5,950 and 6,000 pounds because of the weight it carries. Two Engines, Two Sets of Numbers Toyota builds the 2026 Tacoma around a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. It gets tuned three ways. The base SR pairs with an eight-speed automatic, producing 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. Most trims above the SR run the same block at 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Want the six-speed manual? It shows up on 4x4 Double Cab builds and makes 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The i-FORCE MAX adds an electric motor to that turbo four. Output climbs to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft, and the Trailhunter is rated at 323 horsepower. Torque hits the instant you touch the pedal. You notice that pulling a wet boat up a steep ramp. How Toyota Tacoma Towing Capacity Breaks Down by Trim Toyota Tacoma towing capacity runs from 3,500 to 6,500 pounds. Cab style matters more than badge here. Gas XtraCab trucks, meaning SR5 and TRD PreRunner, hit the 6,500-pound ceiling. Add the back doors and gas Double Cab models settle at 6,400 pounds. That 100-pound gap rarely changes a shopping list. It does count if your trailer already sits near the limit. The base SR is the odd one out. Toyota lists it at 3,500 pounds in every cab and drivetrain it offers, which puts a hard ceiling on what the entry truck will pull. Step up one rung to the SR5, and the rating nearly doubles. Every figure below assumes a properly equipped truck and follows SAE J2807 test methods. 2026 Tacoma Tow Ratings by Trim and Configuration Trim and Powertrain Cab and Drive Max Towing (lbs.)

Confirm the numbers on your own door jamb sticker before you hitch up. Why the Hybrid Numbers Land Lower Most shoppers expect the strongest engine to pull the most. The 6,000-pound hybrid ceiling surprises them. Battery and motor hardware push curb weight to between 5,030 and 5,410 pounds. That mass eats into the gross combined rating. You trade about 400 pounds of trailer for instant low-end grunt, a 2400W bed outlet, and standard Tow/Haul mode. Tongue Weight Counts Against Your Payload Tongue weight usually runs 10 to 15 percent of what the trailer weighs. It presses straight down on the hitch. Gas XtraCab trucks handle 650 pounds at the ball, gas Double Cabs 640, and hybrids 595 to 600. That load comes out of the payload. Payload spans 1,230 pounds on a 4x4 XtraCab up to 1,710 pounds on some hybrid Double Cabs. Add riders, coolers, and a toolbox, and the margin shrinks fast. Trailer Tech Worth Ordering A Class-IV hitch receiver with 7-pin and 4-pin wiring is standard on SR5, TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, and TRD Off-Road. Limited, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter add Trailer Backup Guide and a trailer blind-spot camera. Those three also include the built-in trailer brake controller. SR5, TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, and TRD Off-Road bundle it into option packages, and the SR skips it altogether. Towing a tandem-axle trailer? Treat that controller as a must-have. Picking a Build That Matches Your Trailer Weigh your trailer loaded, with coolers, gear, and a full water tank. Then shop backward from that number. Anything heavier than 6,400 pounds points you toward a gas XtraCab, meaning an SR5 or TRD PreRunner. Trailers in the 4,000 to 5,500 range open up most of the lineup, hybrids included. Those builds still leave room for a family in the back seat. Light utility and single-axle boat trailers under 3,500 pounds fit even the base SR.

How the 2026 Camry and Accord Match Up for Daily Drivers America's two best-selling sedans have traded punches for decades, and 2026 keeps the rivalry going strong. Toyota went all-in on hybrid power for every Camry this year, while Honda still sells a gas Accord and saves its hybrid setup for the upper trims. Both seat five, both sip fuel, and both have loyal fans who swear by their pick. So which one belongs in your driveway? Every 2026 Camry comes as a hybrid, starting at $29,300 and rated up to 51 mpg combined on the LE grade. Honda's 2026 Accord starts lower at $28,395 with a turbo gas engine, and its hybrid trims reach up to 48 mpg combined. Toyota offers all-wheel drive on every Camry trim, while the Accord stays front-wheel drive across the whole lineup. What's Under the Hood This is where the two cars split in a big way. Every 2026 Camry runs a 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid paired with an eCVT. Front-drive models make 225 horsepower combined, and the available all-wheel-drive setup bumps that to 232. You get the same hybrid no matter which Camry you choose. Honda plays it differently. Base LX and SE trims use a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder good for 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, with a CVT. Want the hybrid? You'll step up to the Sport Hybrid or higher, which runs a 2.0L two-motor system rated at 204 horsepower and a strong 247 lb-ft of torque. That tradeoff sits at the heart of the 2026 Toyota Camry vs. Honda Accord question. Toyota gives you hybrid power from the jump, and Honda lets you start cheaper on gas before paying up for electrification. Fuel Economy by the Numbers Toyota's all-hybrid plan pays off at the pump. In front-drive form, the Camry LE earns an EPA-estimated 52 city, 49 highway, and 51 combined. Sportier SE, XLE, and XSE trims land around 47/45/46. Adding AWD trims those numbers a touch. Honda's gas Accord LX returns 29 city, 37 highway, and 32 combined, with the SE close behind at 28/36/31. Move to the hybrids, and the gap shrinks fast. Most Accord hybrids hit 46/41/44, and the EX-L Hybrid is the mileage champ of the bunch at 51/44/48. Camry still edges ahead on combined numbers, but a hybrid Accord is no slouch. Trim-by-Trim Breakdown Trim Powertrain Horsepower Combined MPG Starting MSRP 2026 Toyota Camry (Hybrid, FWD or AWD) LE 2.5L Hybrid 225 hp (FWD) 51 $29,300 SE 2.5L Hybrid 225 hp (FWD) 46 $31,800 Nightshade 2.5L Hybrid 225 hp (FWD) 46 $32,800 XLE 2.5L Hybrid 225 hp (FWD) 46 $34,500 XSE 2.5L Hybrid 225 hp (FWD) 46 $35,700 2026 Honda Accord (Gas or Hybrid, FWD only) LX 1.5L Turbo Gas 192 hp 32 $28,395 SE 1.5L Turbo Gas 192 hp 31 $30,695 Sport Hybrid 2.0L Hybrid 204 hp 44 $33,795 EX-L Hybrid 2.0L Hybrid 204 hp 48 $35,095 Sport-L Hybrid 2.0L Hybrid 204 hp 44 $35,495 Touring Hybrid 2.0L Hybrid 204 hp 44 $39,495 Prices exclude the $1,195 destination charge on both cars. Camry AWD adds $1,525 to any trim. Tech and Cabin Touches Both sedans load up on screens. Camry runs an 8-inch touchscreen on the LE, SE, and Nightshade, then jumps to a 12.3-inch display on the XLE and XSE. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard on every trim, and so does blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. Move up the ladder, and you can add a JBL audio system, a head-up display, and a panoramic roof. Accord answers with a 9-inch screen on the LX and SE and a 12.3-inch unit on the hybrids, plus a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster on all trims. Honda keeps a physical volume knob, which many drivers appreciate. Up top, the Touring Hybrid piles on Google built-in, a 12-speaker Bose system, a heated steering wheel, and ventilated front seats. Worth flagging too, blind spot info is standard on the SE and up, but not on the base LX. Picking the Sedan That Fits Your Week If you want the best gas mileage for the least money, plus the option of all-wheel drive for snowy mornings, the Camry makes the easy case. Every trim is a hybrid, so you never have to choose between saving fuel and saving cash. Drivers who want a lower entry price on gas, a sportier steering feel, or a fully loaded tech flagship like the Touring will lean toward Honda. Both are dependable picks that hold their worth well, so a test drive in each is the smartest way to settle it. See the 2026 Camry at Toyota of Madison At Toyota of Madison, we make it simple to put the 2026 Camry to the test in person. Reading specs is one thing, but feeling how the hybrid pulls away from a stop and checking whether that 12.3-inch screen suits you is another.

Stop by when you're ready to compare them side by side, take a drive around Madison, and find the trim that fits how you actually drive.

Sizing Up Two Family Minivan Heavyweights for 2026 Minivans don't sell on flash. They sell on what happens after the kids are buckled in, the groceries are loaded, and the dog has muddied up the third row again. For 2026, the segment's two best-known nameplates take very different approaches to that daily grind. Toyota leans into hybrid efficiency. Honda sticks with V6 muscle. That contrast is where most family driveway decisions get made. Toyota's 2026 Sienna pairs a hybrid powertrain with available all-wheel drive across most trims. Honda's 2026 Odyssey sticks with a 280-horsepower V6 and front-wheel drive only. Choosing between them often comes down to fuel economy against cargo capacity and seating layout. Two Different Approaches Under the Hood When it comes to the Sienna vs. Odyssey, Toyota built the 2026 Sienna around a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid system that produces 245 net horsepower combined. It pairs with an electronic continuously variable transmission, and a separate rear electric motor adds available all-wheel drive on most trims. Honda takes a different path. Every 2026 Odyssey runs a 3.5-liter V6 making 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 10-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is your only choice with the Odyssey. Off the line, that V6 and 10-speed combo gives the Odyssey a noticeable edge in passing power. Sienna feels quiet and smooth at city speeds, and its hybrid setup pulls confidently when you need to merge. Fuel Economy at the Pump Hybrid wins here, and it isn't close. EPA-rated at 36 mpg combined for front-drive Sienna models and 35 mpg combined with all-wheel drive, the Toyota leaves the Odyssey far behind. Honda's V6 returns 19 city, 28 highway, and 22 combined. Run the math on a 15,000-mile driving year at $3.50 per gallon, and Sienna can save you north of $900 a year on gas. That's real money. Stretch it across five or six years of ownership, and you're looking at thousands. Seating, Sliding Doors, and Daily Comfort Both minivans seat up to eight passengers. Sienna also offers a seven-seat layout with second-row captain's chairs, depending on trim, which works well for families who want easy walk-through access to the third row. Honda's Magic Slide second-row seats move side to side and fold flat for hauling longer cargo. Sienna trims at XLE and above come with four-zone automatic climate control, while Honda now equips every trim with leather-trimmed seats. Each van comes with dual power sliding doors and a power tailgate as standard kit. Cargo Room for Real Life Honda gets the win on raw hauling capacity. The 2026 Odyssey offers 38.6 cubic feet behind the third row, 91.0 cubic feet behind the second row, and a cavernous 155.8 cubic feet with seats stowed. Sienna counters with 33.5 cubic feet behind the third row, 75.2 cubic feet behind the second row, and 101.0 cubic feet total. Either van will swallow a Costco run or a stack of soccer gear without complaint, but families packing for cross-country trips might appreciate Odyssey's deeper hold. 2026 Trim Levels at a Glance 2026 Toyota Sienna vs. Honda Odyssey Trim Comparison Tier Toyota Sienna Honda Odyssey Entry LE Starting at $40,820 245 hp hybrid, 36 mpg combined (FWD), 8-inch touchscreen, Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, dual power sliding doors EX-L Starting at $42,795 280 hp V6, 22 mpg combined, 9-inch touchscreen, Magic Slide seats, Honda Sensing, leather-trimmed seats Mid XLE Starting at $45,520 12.3-inch touchscreen, four-zone climate, available AWD, available moonroof, available rear entertainment Sport-L Starting at $43,895 19-inch wheels, sport styling cues, parking sensors, exclusive interior trim Sport / Upper XSE Starting at $48,745 Sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch wheels (FWD), JBL premium audio, leather sport seats Touring Starting at $47,495 Built-in navigation, CabinWatch and CabinTalk, Wi-Fi hotspot, rear-seat entertainment, rear sunshades Luxury Limited Starting at $51,505 Heated and ventilated leather front seats, 12.3-inch digital cluster, available 1500W outlet Elite Starting at $51,695 11-speaker 500W audio, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, hands-free tailgate, rain-sensing wipers Top Platinum Starting at $58,210 AWD standard, 10-inch head-up display, FridgeBox, integrated vacuum, panoramic camera, heated second-row captain's chairs No higher trim.

Tech and Safety You'll Use Daily Both vans come standard with strong driver-assist suites. Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 covers pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, adaptive cruise control, and lane tracing on every Sienna. Honda Sensing matches it with collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise with low-speed follow, and lane keep assist. Sienna trims XLE and up get a 12.3-inch touchscreen, while every Odyssey now ships with a 9-inch touchscreen plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both setups support wireless phone charging. Where the Sienna vs. Odyssey Decision Lands For families who rack up highway miles or live where snow shows up half the year, Sienna's hybrid efficiency and available all-wheel drive are tough to beat. For families who want eight-passenger seating across every trim, a V6 with strong passing power, and more cargo room behind the second row, Odyssey makes a strong case. Both are excellent family haulers. Your daily driving habits should make the call, along with how much winter weather you face.
