The already extremely popular Toyota Tacoma just got even better for 2020. The legendary mid-size pickup truck receives a plethora of new features and minor exterior updates and is making its debut at the Chicago auto show. While the litany of changes do not affect its powertrain choices or configuration options, as we speculated after a teaser image was released last week, many of them help better align the Tacoma with contemporary rivals in this highly competitive segment.

Perhaps the biggest news to those familiar with the current-generation Tacoma, which was all new for 2016, is the addition of a power-adjustable driver's seat and power lumbar support.

This is standard on all versions starting with the second-level SR5. Previously, drivers would have to manually adjust their chair-a real bummer by today's standards.

Every model also receives an all-new touchscreen infotainment system that finally (!) supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For bonus points, standard Amazon Alexa compatibility joins them, too.

Among an increasingly crowded segment of mid-size pickup trucks, the Tacoma still stands tall, with sales up 8.2 percent in 2019 so far. It's the best-selling non-domestic pickup in the country, although the new Ford Ranger and Jeep Gladiator are looking to steal some customers away.

The new Panoramic View Monitor is supplementary to the standard backup camera and includes front, side, and rear angles. Likewise, the new Multi Terrain Monitor adds another element to that camera system with a view under the truck so the driver can become aware of otherwise unseen obstacles.

The latest Tacoma now offers a power driver's seat plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.

Every one of the six distinct models, including the TRD Sport and the TRD Off-Road, have fresh faces that include either updated grille designs, new LED headlights with dazzling daytime running lights, or a combination of both.

After returning from the dead for 2019, the TRD Pro model continues to rule the roost. It also receives all of the aforementioned infotainment upgrades and exterior revisions found on lesser Tacos.

The entire 2020 Tacoma lineup still includes a standard 159-hp 2.7-liter inline-four engine or a 278-hp 3.5-liter V-6. Both pair with a six-speed automatic transmission and rear- or all-wheel drive; the V-6 can also be paired with a six-speed manual gearbox.

Likewise, the regular Access Cab models mate to a 6.1-foot cargo bed, and the Double Cabs have either a 5.0-foot or 6.1-foot box. Neither the on-sale date or pricing details have been released, but we will bring that information to you as soon as it's available.
