2024 MUDFEST PLAYLIST:    • 2024 Outdoor Activity Vehicle Event o...  

Allnew 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 gaselectric hybrid midsize pickup. With more power and torque, and likely better fuel economy than the average midsize pickup, the 2024 Tacoma IForce Max hybrid builds upon Toyota’s experience with hybridelectrified drivetrains. And it may well be a gamechanger 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 OffRoad, 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 smootherriding multilink coilspring rear suspension replacing the more basic rear leafspring setup in most double cab models. Crisper fourwheel disc brakes and an electronic brake booster replace the previous disc/drum vacuumbooster setup. For those who like to shift their own gears, the new Tacoma still offers a sixspeed manual transmission, but improves it with revmatching for smoother downshifts, antistall 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 backup guidance.

Positives
Hybrid powertrain offers classleading torque. Available 14inch infotainment screen. Rustproof, dentproof bed available in 5 or 6foot length.

Considerations
No back seat in twodoor 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 allnew 2024 Toyota Tacoma offers an impressive midsize pickup truck for every type of buyer.

What's New for 2024
The fourthgeneration Toyota Tacoma is allnew for 2024. A more powerful and more fuelefficient turbocharged IForce 2.4liter fourcylinder engine replaces last year’s nonturbo 2.7liter fourcylinder and 3.5liter V6 powerplants, and an IForce Max gaselectric hybrid powertrain debuts. A new twodoor, twopassenger XtraCab with extensive incab storage replaces the fourpassenger Access Cab. A more efficient eightspeed automatic transmission replaces the previous sixspeed unit. Chassis updates include a new, fully boxed ladder frame, fourwheel disc brakes, electric power steering, and smootherriding multilink coilspring rear suspension on most trims. Among the new features this year is an available poweroperated tailgate, a front stabilizerbar disconnect feature that aids offroad articulation, and an adaptive damping system that adjusts ride control in real time.
