In 2023, the Toyota Tacoma was named the best midsize truck by Kelley Blue Book. And this wasn’t its first accolade either. Since the first generation was introduced in 1995, this vehicle’s won multiple awards, making it an excellent choice if you’re in the market for a new truck.
Before you jump up and go purchase the third-generation Tacoma though, hold your horses. The fourth generation is coming out soon, and it’s packed with wonderful features.
Read on for a quick guide to the new Toyota Tacoma.
A New Trim
Previously, the available trims for the Tacoma were SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited, and TRD Pro.
This new generation gets a new trim: the Trailhunter, which will be the top-most trim above the TRD Pro. This adds aftermarket ARB parts, which will make it outstanding for off-roading and rugged trails.
Strong Powertrains
Experts speculate that the new Toyota Tacoma will have a new four-cylinder gas engine with turbocharging, which will be a welcome change. Many drivers were disappointed with the mediocre four-cylinder and V6 engines that only produced 159 HP and 278 HP, respectively.
The current Tacoma has a manual transmission option, but we suspect it may disappear in the fourth generation. This is due to Toyota slowly phasing manual transmissions out.
There’s also the possibility that it’ll get the same six-cylinder hybrid powertrain that the Tundra has. This truck could get a fully-electric powertrain too, making it the best 2024 truck to buy. Either way, you’ll be able to reduce your carbon footprint and not feel as guilty when on the road.
An Interior Redesign
The new Toyota Tacoma will have the new TNGA-F architecture, which is also used for the new 4Runner and Sequoia.
Drivers complained that the third-generation truck had too little space in the cabin, especially in the second row of seats. So we expect the vehicle to be roomier for the fourth generation.
As you can expect from Toyota, there will be comfortable and quality materials all throughout the cabin, as well as easy-to-use modern features.
The Latest in Technology
You can bet that the 2024 Tacoma will have new car technology. Expect the infotainment screen to be larger in this new vehicle; it’ll probably be 14 inches big. In addition, the system should have the latest features, such as Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and wifi hotspot capabilities.
As for the driver’s area, it’s likely that Toyota will update the information display with aesthetic bar gauges. If you’re an avid off-roader, then some trims may come with surround-view cameras to aid your adventures.
The New Toyota Tacoma Is Amazing
By now, it should be clear that the new Toyota Tacoma should be your next vehicle. This model has satisfied drivers’ needs for almost three decades.
Not only is this truck from a reputable and renowned brand, but the fourth generation will be a massive improvement from the third. So if you buy a Toyota Tacoma, you definitely won’t be disappointed!
