The 2024 Toyota Tacoma has a fresh new design, finally receiving a complete redesign after eight years. It appears to be an much improved version of the very popular truck.
The Tacoma now shares a new frame with the Tundra and Land Cruiser, but is sized down to fit the Tacoma’s size. Various cab and bed configurations available, as well as multiple trim levels and off road options.
One notable improvement is the inclusion of coil springs in higher trim models. This should enhance the ride and handling compared to the traditional leaf spring rear suspension found in lower trim models. The engine options have also been updated, with turbocharged four cylinder engines replacing the previous four and six cylinder options. Additionally, a hybrid version is now available, boasting over 300 horsepower and 400 pound feet of torque. Both two and four wheel drive are offered, including a manual with the more powerful turbo four.
Although driving experience, pricing, and specific features have yet to be revealed, we have compiled currently known info this guide.
The non hybrid models are expected to go on sale by the end of the year, with the hybrid versions arriving early next year.
Interior and Technology:
Tacoma’s cabin resembles a scaled down version of the Tundra’s interior. It features a square and chunky design, plenty of grab handles, and a prominent badge on the passenger side to remind drivers of the truck they’re in. Different trim levels offer various color and material options, from vibrant accents in the TRD Sport and TRD Pro to more subdued interiors in base and higher trim Limited models. Luxurious features such as a wireless charging pad and heated ventilated front seats are available. The instrument cluster and infotainment screens vary depending on the trim level, with options including a 12.3 inch digital instrument cluster and a 14-inch infotainment screen. The infotainment system is user friendly, but there have been some frustrations with the navigation system map.

The Tacoma is a midsize pickup that competes with Ford Ranger, Nissan Frontier and Jeep Gladiator. It offers a variety of cab and bed configurations, with two cabs (Access Cab and Double Cab) and two bed lengths (long bed for Access Cab and short bed for Double Cab).
