Exploring the 2024 Toyota Tacoma: Tough and Reliable

Power and Performance

In its base form, the Tacoma is powered by a turbocharged 2.4L i-Force inline-4 making 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. On other trims, the same engine has been tuned to generate 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. An electronic 8-speed automatic transmission featuring manual sequential shifting and uphill/downhill shift logic, which makes it easier to tow heavy loads on steep inclines, handles shifting duties with finesse.

Many traditionalists are sure to be drawn to the Tacoma, as it’s one of the few remaining vehicles in its class that continues to offer a 6-speed manual transmission. Along with its smooth throws, this transmission features automatic rev-matching and anti-stall.

Off-Roading Capability

Sturdy construction, a well-articulated and fully independent suspension, and available 4WDemand 4-wheel drive combine to make the Tacoma a top-notch off-roading machine. 4WDemand is an electronically controlled system that can be switched on to provide extra traction in tricky conditions. Enabling finer control when traveling over rocky trails or through deep mud, a two-speed transfer case comes with low- and high-range modes.

Towing and Hauling

With the ability to tow up to 6,500 pounds or carry over 1,600 pounds of payload, the Tacoma has no problem transporting a wide variety of trailers and campers. Buyers can choose between a 5- or 6-foot bed, with both options having a depth of more than 20 inches. Since the bed has been heavily reinforced with aluminum and sheet-molded composite, you won’t have to worry about denting the vehicle when you’re loading cargo.

Added utility comes thanks to four bed tie-downs with the option to add four more and an available deck rail system with adjustable cleats.

Passenger Cabin

The Tacoma can be had as a 2-seat extended cab or 4-door, 5-seat crew cab. Either promises ample room for its passengers, including 41.8 inches of front legroom and 33.7 inches of legroom for those seated in the rear of the crew cab. The updated interior sports an ultra-modern design that uses high-quality and durable materials. Many trims offer dual-zone climate control, heating and lumbar support for the front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

A standard 8-inch infotainment touchscreen system allows for wireless smartphone integration and support for SiriusXM satellite radio. Premium options include a 14-inch display and a powerful 10-speaker JBL sound system.
