Toyota in introducing the all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma, ushering in a fourth generation for the hugely popular midsize pickup. Highlights include new styling, new powertrain options, and a new trim level. When it goes on sale, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma will be rivaled by the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon from the GM camp.
With regard to the 2024 Toyota Tacoma’s exterior styling, designers focused on a “Badass Adventure Machine” theme, incorporating high-mounted headlamps, functional side air intakes, and a hexagonal grille, as well as spoilers for the roof and tailgate. Available body styles include either a 5-foot bed or a 6-foot bed, as well as either a Double Cab or the new XtraCab, the latter of which is a new two-door long-bed layout designed for added cargo capacity. Inside, there’s an available 14-inch touchscreen, while Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard across the lineup.
With regard to the greasy bits, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma is equipped as standard with the i-Force turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder engine, rated at 228 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque for the entry-level SR trim level, and 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque across the rest of the lineup when paired with a new eight-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual is also offered, pairing with an engine output rating of 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Customers can also opt for the i-Force Max turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder hybrid, rated at 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, making for the most powerful powertrain ever offered for the Toyota Tacoma.
Both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are available to put the power down. Under the skin, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma rides on the TNGA-F global truck platform, the same underpinnings as the Toyota Tundra and Toyota Sequoia.
The trim level lineup includes SR, SR5, TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, TRD Off Road, Limited, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter.
The Trailhunter is new for 2024, and is aimed at overlanding enthusiasts with upgrades from ARB, Old Man Emu, and Rigid. The Tacoma TRD Pro once again offers up some Baja-inspired performance, and features segment-first IsoDynamic Performance Seats for enhanced off-road comfort and control, as well as off-roading specs like a 33.8-degree approach angle, 23.5-degree breakover angle, 25.7-degree departure angle, and 11 inches of ground clearance.
Look for the next-generation 2024 Toyota Tacoma to go on sale later this year. Models equipped with the i-Force Max hybrid powertrain will arrive early next year. Pricing will be announced closer to vehicle launch.

Ehh…
Bit more blocky than the GM models. Then the dash is a real mess.
I love it Toyota does it again! Modern styling without being too boxy or too round perfect creases
Without being too boxy?? The cab is a 90 degree….
Agreed. I actually liked the prior styling to this mess. It’s lackluster appearance vs the Colorado, and lackluster power trained too. Sure…. Hybrid blah blah torque blah. Normally hybrids rob performance once their extra weight is factored in. I’ll reserve my judgement till it’s proves itself, but the 2.7 looks even more attractive now.
The once place it eats GM’s lunch? Options. It has a manual and even a 6’ bed. Besides that nothing to even scoff at in my case. Nissan frontier is sexier.
I had a 2018 GMC Canyon, I traded it in. I am now driving a 2022 Tacoma, Love the body style of the 2022 Tacoma , I like the 2022 Tacoma body style much better then this 2024 Tacoma!
However the 2022 is a terrible truck, most disappointed vehicle I ever drove! My Tacoma is a four banger, no power and not great mpg? Terrible ergonomics, radio, back up camera no where near that of the older Canyon SLT. Canyon rode better handle better and was more comfortable. In fairness Canyon was SLT (higher end trim) Tacoma is SR5 (lower trim level) however I promise GMC was a much higher quality vehicle in every aspect, at 16,000 miles Tacoma has stitching coming undone on the seats and has more issues, I drove the GMC to 109,000 miles with no issues at all.
I now have a 2023 Colorado Z71 on order. The Toyota is not what expected at all.
by the time your Z71 is made, it will be a 2024.
Cool story bro! Totally believable 😏
ive owned tacomas since 2006… havent put more than 3000 in repairs on about 800,000 km of driving …they are quality trucks with an insane resell value
If they deliver them to their customers, they’re ahead of the game.
Overall I think it looks good. Just a few things that bother me. The front air dam on the sport & limited models is ridiculous. The smaller rear windows make it look like a double cab & the infotainment screen seems a little bulky. Other than that, not too bad but the Colorado ZR2 would still be my first choice.
I should have read your comments before making my own, sounds like we have almost exactly the same thoughts on the looks of this thing.
Well, so far from what I’ve seen the rollout from Toyota by far has been much better than GM especially with all the information given to all of the people who do reviews it truly was genius a great way to get exposure on this vehicle I know when I begin to look at the canyon I couldn’t get hardly any information at all. Of course, now there’s videos everywhere, but early on July and August when the canyon and Colorado were released, but looks like there’s a lot more options, especially when it comes to the bed I like the outside of the Tacoma Trd but I sure wish they would have offered the extended cab with seats. I currently on a 2010 GMC canyon extended cab with a full-size bed and that thing has been bulletproof with the in-line five anyhow that’s just my two cents let’s see how the Rollout goes as we get closer to their release date but I will say one thing the Denali by far has the better interior I wish GM would’ve offered on the Dinali version painted side skirts instead of being black plastic, a power side step, and Homelink and a power rear slider I still like the canyon better
What are you even talking about? GM had identical events like this for the Colorado launch. There was no “reviews” here. There was no driving the trucks. It was the same type of event GM held… you get to look around the trucks. Get to go inside the interior. Rev the engine a bit. That’s it. It was just an announcement event where they give the high level information. Journalists won’t actually get to review these products until several months from now. Every single manufacturer does it this way. Earlier this week Ford did the exact same style of event for the new Ranger.
i didnt even know about the maverick till i saw one on the road… they didnt do a good job
They weren’t released in July. The reason you could find anything on them at that time, the Canyon wasn’t even revealed until August 11 and didn’t start building them until the end of January.
Holy Moley.
They shrunk the the Tundra which already looks bad and made this look cartoonish. Interior is a mess. Front air dam looks like a after thought. GM needs get logistics worked out and they may give Toyota a run for their money.
I force turbo. I guess everyone is going turbo max or fast turbo moniker nowadays.
The earlier ‘sneak peak’ pictures looked considerably better to me. The crew cab looks an awful lot like an extended cab from the outside (kind of goofy looking). the rest of the outside looks pretty good to me. I think the inside looks fine, though I am not a huge fan of the tesla type floating screen in the middle of the dash. Did Toyota do what they needed to do to maintain their mid-size sales lead??…time will tell, but I don’t think they exactly hit it out of the park on this one.
Woof. That interior is just awful in the 2020’s (although a younger me would have thought it was pretty B-tchin’ in 1999).
I mean, I know kaizen is incremental process improvements over time, but yeesh, this a little too long… Minus the screen we’re talking a 20-25 years outdated interior.
But it’s the Taco, so their audience won’t give a rats fart. They’ll put 1,800 lbs of shizzle in the bed and send it, so who cares about the interior.
I like that they are going to keep offering a long box crew cab set up. That is the number one reason I would overlook the Colorado if I was planning on a new truck.
Yep. GM not offering a long box on their mid-size made me delay my purchase for this reveal. Now Toyota is delivering a useful truck bed.
Not sure when I will pull the trigger by I eventually will.
Yep. Both ford and GM are not offering 6 foot beds in their midsizers. Can’t remember if the frontier does. Ridgeline doesn’t count. I really wish GM would offer the larger bed; would make my decision a whole lot easier.
Yes, that 10″ longer bed than the Colorado is the difference maker. Let’s all take a minute and drop our stuff on the table, multiply it time 5 and that’s 10″, not a really big deal at the end of the day.
LOL
Interesting math equation you’ve figured out that logic. You just gave yourself an A on your own quiz.
LOL. Thank you
Outside is ugly. Inside is uglier. But the brainwashed who think Toyota is actually good will buy them and pay up just because the name.
Anyone who starts a conversation saying “ok Boomer” is not worth responding to.
Grow up.
You first Boomer.
Ok Boomer.
The same boomer that was whining about resale value on the soon to be discontinued Chevy Bolt.
Try this again and see if they (GMA) takes this comment down too.
Anyone who starts a sentence with OK Boomer doesn’t deserve the time or proper response.
Grow up clown.
You’re not the website dictator Dan. You don’t get to choose what gets taken down and what doesn’t.
Toyo JUNK
Out of all the trims the only one I like is the TRDPro. The air dam on the other trims however is cringeworthy! Looks like it’s falling off. I am still keeping my interest in the ZR2 for 2024.
Toyo high quality, high resale value and high class vehicles.
Fixed for you.
I don’t mind the outside appearance but the interior is awful!!
Another entry in the blocky black plastic fantastic off road look. Exterior looks are subjective but it doesn’t look all that much better or worse than some competitors and should do well. Toyota dropped the ball on the interior as far as appearance but counters with color options not offered on the others, more bed and cab configurations, a 6 speed stick, a hybrid option and class leading torque and HP for that i-Force Max setup. I’m betting it will hold on to its sales title crown as best seller but hope I’m wrong on that!
We all knew Toyota was going to battle for this size pickup market. GM will have to fight with all they can muster up. This is a nice looking truck. GM new Colorado and Canyons are nice also. It will come down to loyalty, and each company might pick up some newcomers.
6 ft bed and manual are good news however, it looks like it hit a tree stump.
This is probably the only Toyota I like. I did NOT like the previous Gen Tacoma and think the Tundra is hideous.
Toyota did a fantastic job on the All New Tacoma. They even included two size Beds, manual Transmission, and an extended cab. Wonder if GM will regret only offering one configuration.
The long bed and the manual transmission are the only 2 reasons I would give this truck a look. And if GM or Ford can match these, I would go there. The only other small pickup offered with the standard trans for 2023 is the Jeep Gladiator.
They won’t, it’s too small of a part of that market.
You wouldn’t consider a 4wd Maverick?
No
Looks like it came out of their Calty studio. Never been a big fan of anything they’ve designed.
Our 2023 Colorado has finally arrived. From the look of the new Tacoma the Colorado was worth the long wait.
At the high end, V6 is replaced with i4 Hybrid. Wonderful way to go. Another fuel efficient hybrid.
Hope other automaker follow Toyotas lead in Hybrid.
Toyota has sold more than 23 million electrified vehicles out of which 21 million are Full Hybrid with around 1.5 KWh battery.
yea. I’m guessing that hybrid will be a hot ticket 10 years from now on the used market. I may not know enough, but I think that will hurt the used tacoma trd pro sales. I wouldn’t want a used truck that I may have to replace the battery or motor that costs a substantial amount to replace.
