Overview:

Finally, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma seem to have what it take to complete head-to-head with upgraded mid-size rivals like Chevy Colorado and Ford Ranger. The Brand new Tacoma has a powerful exterior. But it also qualifies as contemporary inside, with a stylish design complemented by clear digital displays. With two cab and bed options, Tacoma selection is likewise more varied than most rivals.

A new turbocharged four-cylinder engine with several output levels provides power, the hybrid iForce Max, which outperforms all rivals with 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, is the most potent of these. The top off-roader, the wider TRD Pro, and the newly designed Trailhunter trim both come standard with that configuration. Another illustration of the Tacoma’s  renewed competitiveness it the fact that most models substitute more modern coil springs for the outdated leaf-spring rear suspension. 

For the 2024 model year, the mid-size pickup truck’s fourth generation, the Tacoma receives a complete facelift. The new Tacoma receives updated powertrains, more contemporary features, and wider selection of trim level, including the recently introduced Tailhunter that is targeted at people who enjoy over landing and inheriting a variation of the body-on-frame TNGA-F platform shared with the recently redesigned Toyota Tundra.

When the vehicles go on sale in the fourth quarter of this year, Toyota isn’t likely to provide pricing information for the 2024 Tacoma lineup until later this year. Due to the delayed availability of the hybrid powertrain, consumers who are interested in the Trailhunter and TRD Pro will have to wait even longer, since both top-end trim levels won’t hit   showrooms until next spring.

There a two distinct rear suspension available, despite the fact that all Tacomas have a body-on-frame design.  

Old-fashioned leaf springs support the SP5 extended cab, SR and TRD Pre Runner, while coil springs give the other vehicles a smoother ride. The Tacoma excels at digging in the mud, so off-road oriented variants have the equipment to virtually anywhere. With underbody protection, knobby 33-inch Goodyear Territory T/T tires, and some unique suspension parts, the Trail hunter and TRD Pro in particular are strengthened. The latter have distinctive 2.5-inch dampers with remote reservoirs as well as a standard detachable from anti-roll bar.
