It’s finally here. The 2024 Toyota Tacoma marks a significant upgrade to its bestselling mid-size pickup truck. Scheduled for release in December 2023, this latest model is the first significant update for the Tacoma in eight years and brings a host of new features and technology to do battle in a vastly more competitive mid-size truck segment.

We broke down everything we knew about the new Tacoma when Toyota first pulled the covers off in Hawaii, but with the truck set to hit dealer lots in about a month, here are all the changes you need to know about.

Unleash the Power

Under the hood, the Tacoma roars to life with its i-FORCE 2.4L Turbo Engine, boasting a mighty 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. Want to up the ante? Go for the i-FORCE MAX hybrid and feel the thrill of commanding 326 horsepower and an unrivaled 465 lb.-ft. of torque.

Riding Reinvented

Every Tacoma model is kitted out with a suspension system that’s fine-tuned to perfection, including a cutting-edge coil spring multi-link rear suspension. This means whether you’re cruising down the highway or tackling rugged trails, the Tacoma’s got your back with a ride that’s as smooth as butter.

Towing? No Sweat!

Pull your trailer, boat, or anything hefty with ease, thanks to the Tacoma’s robust 6,500 lbs towing capacity. And with the i-FORCE Max models, you’re looking at a payload of 1,710 lbs. Nifty towing features like Trailer Back Up Guidance and Straight Path Assist make hauling a walk in the park.

Room for Everything

The Tacoma’s bed is not just spacious; it’s smartly designed with a 7% increase in volume and a lightweight yet sturdy Sheet-Molded Compound construction. This means more room for your gear and less hassle in loading and unloading.

Safety as Standard

With Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 standard in all models, you’re in safe hands. This suite of advanced safety features ensures that you, your passengers, and everyone else on the road stays protected.

Tech Heaven

Inside, the Tacoma is a tech enthusiast’s dream with an 8-inch or a massive 14-inch multimedia touchscreen, wireless compatibility for your Apple or Android devices, and a Smart Key System for easy access and start-up.

Comfort and Convenience

The interior is a masterpiece of design, offering ample storage space and a variety of compartments to keep your essentials neatly organized and easily accessible.

Pick Your Perfect Match

Whether it’s the spacious four-door Double Cab or the nifty new two-door XtraCab, the Tacoma comes in a variety of styles to suit every taste and need.

Fuel-Savvy Power

Achieving an impressive 26 MPG on the highway, the Tacoma strikes the perfect balance between raw power and fuel efficiency.

Ready for December 2023 Launch

Set to hit the markets in December 2023, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma promises major improvements for the Toyota faithful, with models tailored for all sorts of customers, making it a versatile choice for pickup enthusiasts.
