For Put-in-Bay residents who balance laid-back island life with the need for rugged capability, the all-new 2025 Toyota Tacoma i-FORCE MAX offers a compelling solution. Merging advanced hybrid performance with trail-tested durability, this next-generation midsize pickup truck is engineered to deliver power, versatility, and modern convenience—ideal for both weekend adventures and daily drives across Ottawa County.
At Firelands Toyota Sandusky, we specialize in helping local drivers find vehicles that meet their unique lifestyles. This deep dive into the Tacoma i-FORCE MAX reveals why this hybrid powerhouse might be the perfect fit for Put-in-Bay.
Hybrid Power Meets Island Practicality
The i-FORCE MAX powertrain redefines what a midsize pickup can be. With a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine paired with a 48-hp electric motor, the Tacoma hybrid generates up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. That’s best-in-class torque—perfect for towing, off-roading, or transporting supplies from the ferry dock to your home or cottage.
Whether you’re hauling a boat trailer for hauling building materials for your home renovation, the Tacoma i-FORCE MAX gets the job done without sacrificing fuel efficiency. This makes it a smart and sustainable choice for environmentally conscious Put-in-Bay drivers.
Off-Road Versatility for Island Terrain
Put-in-Bay’s varied terrain—from paved roads to gravel paths and muddy offshoots—demands a truck that can adapt. The 2025 Tacoma i-FORCE MAX delivers with available features such as:
-
Multi-Terrain Select (MTS)
-
Crawl Control (CRAWL)
-
Electronically locking rear differential
-
High-clearance front bumper and skid plates
These technologies make navigating Put-in-Bay's off-the-beaten-path locations easier, whether you're heading to East Point or accessing a secluded dock.
