2024 Toyota Tacoma Delivers Toughness and Innovation
A closer look at its specs and smart features.

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma stands as a beacon of engineering excellence in the midsize truck segment. Redesigned with a focus on performance, durability, and versatility, the latest Tacoma is equipped with cutting-edge technology and robust powertrains, ensuring it meets the demands of daily drivers and off-road enthusiasts alike. Let’s explore the technical specifications and features that set the 2024 Tacoma apart.

Performance and Powertrains

At the heart of the 2024 Tacoma is its all-new powertrain lineup, offering flexibility for various driving needs. The standard engine is a 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, delivering 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque when paired with the 8-speed automatic transmission. For those seeking manual control, a 6-speed manual transmission is available with this engine, offering slightly reduced outputs of 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.

For enhanced capability, Toyota introduces the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine combined with a 48-hp electric motor. This hybrid system generates an impressive 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful Tacoma ever produced. Paired exclusively with the 8-speed automatic transmission, the i-FORCE MAX excels in both performance and efficiency, catering to towing, hauling, and everyday driving.

Towing and Payload Capacities

The Tacoma continues its legacy as a reliable workhorse. With properly equipped models, the truck boasts a maximum towing capacity of 6,500 pounds, ideal for trailers, boats, or utility loads. Payload capacity reaches up to 1,709 pounds, offering excellent versatility for hauling gear, materials, or overlanding equipment.

To enhance towing confidence, the Tacoma is outfitted with features like Trailer Backup Guidance with Straight Path Assist, simplifying manoeuvres while reversing with a trailer. Additionally, an integrated trailer brake controller and available Trailer Sway Control ensure stability during towing.

Off-Road Capabilities

True to its roots, the 2024 Tacoma is engineered for exceptional off-road performance. Standard across all models is Toyota’s i-FORCE AWD system, designed to provide superior traction in challenging terrains. The TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro trims take this capability further, with features such as a locking rear differential, Multi-Terrain Select, and Crawl Control. These systems optimise traction and control, enabling the Tacoma to conquer mud, sand, rocks, and more.

The new Trailhunter trim is purpose-built for overlanding, featuring factory-installed upgrades like Old Man Emu (OME) suspension, 33-inch all-terrain tyres, and integrated utility accessories. This trim transforms the Tacoma into a ready-for-adventure platform, requiring minimal aftermarket modification for outdoor enthusiasts.

Dimensions and Design

The 2024 Tacoma is built on Toyota’s TNGA-F global truck platform, which enhances rigidity and ride quality. It is available in multiple configurations, including Access Cab and Double Cab body styles, as well as 5-foot and 6-foot bed lengths. The longer wheelbase and wider track improve stability while maintaining the manoeuvrability expected from a midsize truck.

The exterior design combines aerodynamics with rugged aesthetics. Key design elements include a bold front grille, integrated LED headlights, and flared fenders. Higher trims such as the TRD Pro and Trailhunter feature exclusive styling cues, including unique grilles, skid plates, and raised suspensions for improved ground clearance.

Interior and Technology

The Tacoma’s interior blends practicality with modern comforts. Base models feature durable materials and an 8-inch touchscreen, while higher trims offer upgrades such as leather-trimmed seats, ambient lighting, and a panoramic sunroof. The centre console is redesigned for better ergonomics, with larger storage compartments and wireless charging capabilities.

Technology takes centre stage with Toyota’s Multimedia System, accessible via an available 14-inch touchscreen. The system supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, providing seamless smartphone integration. Other tech highlights include a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, head-up display, and multiple USB-C charging ports throughout the cabin.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is a priority in the Tacoma, which comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0. This suite includes advanced features such as:

  • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
  • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
  • Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
  • Road Sign Assist
  • Automatic High Beams

Additional safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and a 360-degree camera system are available on higher trims, enhancing situational awareness and driver confidence.

Customisation and Accessories

The 2024 Tacoma offers extensive customisation options, allowing buyers to tailor their trucks to specific needs. Available accessories include a multi-function tailgate, bed lighting, roof racks, and TRD skid plates. Additionally, the Trailhunter trim includes an ARB rear bumper and bed-mounted utility gear, appealing to overlanding enthusiasts.
