Toyota's long-running Tacoma has become famous for its robust performance and extra-tough construction. The latest iteration of the mid-sized pickup truck has only gotten better with a more powerful standard engine and a host of new technology that improves off-road capability and makes your trip more convenient. This is your guide to the 2024 Toyota Tacoma!
Turbocharged Powertrain
Under the hood of every new Tacoma, you'll find a 2.4L turbo inline-4 that pairs with a precise, quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission or an engaging 6-speed manual featuring anti-stall technology. While the powerplant generates a healthy 228 hp in the SR model, other trims get a 278-hp variant of the motor that also develops 317 lb-ft of torque, which provides extra muscle for off-road excursions.
If you want even more power, there's an available hybrid i-Force Max engine that can put out 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque.
High-Tech Off-Road Capabilities
With its independent front suspension, durable underbody protection, and available 4-wheel drive, the Tacoma tackles the most challenging environments with ease. The suspension offers especially impressive articulation when buyers opt for Toyota's unique Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism—activated with a simple press of a button.
TRD Off-Road and Trailhunter models come standard with an electronic locking rear differential for enhanced traction and Multi-Terrain Select, offering dirt, mud, snow, and rock drive modes.
Top-Notch Towing and Hauling
The Tacoma can pull up to 3,500 pounds or carry well over 1,400 pounds of payload in its base form. Equipping the truck with the higher-output engine unlocks a maximum towing capacity of 6,500 pounds. Along with bed lengths ranging from 60.3 to 73.5 inches is a bed depth of more than 20 inches, so there's always plenty of room for cargo. The bed itself has been reinforced with aluminum and features extremely durable composite materials.
Ultra-Modern Interior
Available body styles include the 2-door, 2-seat XtraCab and 4-door, 5-seat Double Cab. Whichever configuration you choose, the Tacoma's cabin boasts rugged, yet sophisticated design and a generous use of premium materials. The XtraCab comes with a fold-flat passenger seat and hidden, lockable storage compartments. The Tacoma Limited boasts SofTex upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, a power moonroof, and a wireless charging station.
Advanced Technology
Many Tacoma trims get an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that allows users to wirelessly integrate their smartphones and listen to SiriusXM satellite radio. A larger 14-inch display and 10-speaker JBL premium audio system with a detachable Bluetooth speaker are available, as well.
A slew of standard driver assists, including lane departure alerts, adaptive cruise control, and a road sign recognition system, helps keep ​passengers safe.
When you consider all of these amazing features, it's easy to see why this is the most exciting Tacoma yet! Head over to Toyota of Kingsport in Kingsport, TN today and experience it for yourself!
