With a captivating style and trail-dominating power, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma is one of the most off-road-capable pickup trucks you can drive today. From its performance to comfort and technologies, let’s explore some of the things that make it a must-have.
Capable Powertrain Options
Toyota offers the Tacoma with a standard i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged I-4 engine that generates 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque in the base trim and 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque in the upper trim levels. That’s plenty of power for most driving needs, whether you’re dashing through town or driving from summit to peak.
Available on select trims, a hybrid version of this engine brings 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque for enhanced driving dynamics on rugged terrains. The standard eight-speed automatic transmission provides smooth shifting and a balanced transfer of power to the wheels for increased fuel efficiency. If you want more control, you can opt for the six-speed manual transmission that comes with all the advantages and driving fun of a stick shift.
Off-Road-Ready Features
Whether you opt for the standard rear-wheel drive or the available four-wheel drivetrain, each Tacoma trim level is incredibly off-road-capable. All trims boast a limited-slip differential that optimizes torque transfer to the wheels for enhanced traction in dangerous driving conditions. Select trims are offered with heavy-duty off-road suspensions, front and rear shocks, and factory-installed front and rear lifts for smoother rides and greater ground clearance.
For extreme adventures, some models also come with Toyota’s Multi-Terrain Select drive modes with crawl and downhill control assistance. Recovery hooks come standard on all trim levels, making vehicle recovery a breeze.
Sturdy Exterior Design
Built on Toyota’s TNGA-F platform, this capable truck boasts the same high-strength construction as the Tundra, providing a balance of strength and weight that can take you wherever the trail goes. A selection of wheel options and a variety of tires, including Goodyear Territory rough-terrain tires, make it easy to customize this truck to suit your needs.
Standard LED headlamps with daytime running lights improve visibility and boost the model’s visual appeal. LED fog lights are also available for added convenience in adverse weather or on trails that kick up dust.
Plenty of Towing Power
Whether you want to tow a toy trailer or light Airstream, the Tacoma has plenty of muscle for all your needs. The entry SR trim level boasts a conventional towing capacity of 3,500 lbs and 1,460 lbs of maximum payload capacity. Depending on the trim and engine, this truck can haul up to 1,680 lbs and pull up to 6,500 lbs.
