“With even more off-road capability and the quality, durability, and reliability that our customers expect along with a host of options for every owner, we are confident that Tacoma will remain the top choice for mid-size pickup buyers," the release quoted Dave Christ, Toyota group vice president and general manager, as saying.

2024 Tacoma: Powertrain

The Japanese auto giant is offering two ‘powerful and efficient’ powertrains using a turbocharged 2.4-litre four cylinder. For entry-level SR grades, the engine generates 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft (329.5 Nm) torque. For all other grades, these increase to 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft (430 Nm) torque when paired with the new eight-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with intelligence (ECT-i).

Manual transmission models, on the other hand, produce 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) torque.

This output is nearly double that of the existing version of the truck, which operates on a V6 engine.

i-FORCE MAX is available with TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter halo models.
