2024 MUDFEST PLAYLIST: 2024 Outdoor Activity Vehicle Event o...
All-new Toyota Tacomas don’t come along that often. The 2023 model’s generation dates back to 2016. Despite that, in 2022 the Tacoma outpaced the combined sales of its segment rivals the Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, and Nissan Frontier. One reason for the Tacoma’s recent success has been its variety of available models. The 2024 Toyota Tacoma provides even more options with the addition of the TRD PreRunner and Trailhunter trims.
Except for Ford’s smaller Maverick, no other automaker offers a gas-electric hybrid midsize pickup. With more power and torque, and likely better fuel economy than the average midsize pickup, the 2024 Tacoma I-Force Max hybrid builds upon Toyota’s experience with hybrid-electrified drivetrains. And it may well be a game-changer in the segment. Launching this spring, it becomes the standard powertrain in the TRD Pro and Trailhunter models and available as an upgrade in the TRD Off-Road, TRD Sport, and Limited trims.
The redesigned Tacoma also addresses shortcomings in previous models. The newly raised front seat and longer steering column improve driving ergonomics. Vehicle dynamics are honed with a smoother-riding multilink coil-spring rear suspension replacing the more basic rear leaf-spring setup in most double cab models. Crisper four-wheel disc brakes and an electronic brake booster replace the previous disc/drum vacuum-booster setup. For those who like to shift their own gears, the new Tacoma still offers a six-speed manual transmission, but improves it with rev-matching for smoother downshifts, anti-stall launch technology, and a clutch start cancel feature that lets you start the pickup in gear on steep terrain. The 2024 Tacoma also offers towing aids such as a trailer brake controller and back-up guidance.
Positives
Hybrid powertrain offers class-leading torque. Available 14-inch infotainment screen. Rust-proof, dent-proof bed available in 5- or 6-foot length.
Considerations
No back seat in two-door XtraCab model. Tight rear legroom in double cab. Towing limited to 6,500 pounds.
Verdict
Featuring an expanded lineup of eight highly differentiated models, the all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma offers an impressive midsize pickup truck for every type of buyer.
What's New for 2024
The fourth-generation Toyota Tacoma is all-new for 2024. A more powerful and more fuel-efficient turbocharged I-Force 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine replaces last year’s non-turbo 2.7-liter four-cylinder and 3.5-liter V6 powerplants, and an I-Force Max gas-electric hybrid powertrain debuts. A new two-door, two-passenger XtraCab with extensive in-cab storage replaces the four-passenger Access Cab. A more efficient eight-speed automatic transmission replaces the previous six-speed unit. Chassis updates include a new, fully boxed ladder frame, four-wheel disc brakes, electric power steering, and smoother-riding multilink coil-spring rear suspension on most trims. Among the new features this year is an available power-operated tailgate, a front stabilizer-bar disconnect feature that aids off-road articulation, and an adaptive damping system that adjusts ride control in real time.
