What do you want to do with your Tacoma? I would recommend you put together a personal use case and that will help people give you recommendations.

My personal use case is I need my truck for commuting and outdoor fun. I plan on using it for light to medium off-roading but nothing too difficult. I also sometimes travel to snowy areas. So, for me an all terrain or rugged terrain with a three peak mountain rating fits my needs best. I am planning my next set of tires to be 265/75/16 Micky Thompson Baja Boss AT.

That may or may not be a good choice for you. It all depends on what you want to do with your Tacoma.

Solid advice….
 
we do get a fair amount of snow here in Maine. I do not off roading, but I want something that looks “rugged”. I have a $1,000 budget.
 
These would be my recommendations for your use case:

1. Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT - Depending on your definition of ruggedness this might not fit the bill. However, I think this one is the best fit for your overall use case.
2. BFGOODRICH KO3 all-terrain - If you are looking for something a little more rugged looking would also be a good choice.
3. Micky Thompson Baja Boss AT.- If the rugged look is really important to you and you are willing to compromise on road handling and noise a bit.

I hope my recommendations help. I would defiantly look at tire reviews and think about what might fit your needs best. there are a lot of great tires for our trucks. It all depends on what fits your needs the best.
 
Bottman's recommendations are pretty solid.

I would highly recommend AGAINST the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I have never hated a tire more and will never buy another Nitto product. They do not grip in any terrain including tarmac.

I’m glad that you recommend Cooper. I read the Toyota does not care for Cooper. Why.?
 
I am on my second pair of Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. I like them and they are pretty popular with the Overlanders I roll with in the PacNW.
