This is not a drill!! The Toyota Tacoma has finally been redesigned since its redesign in 2016. However, this is no basic redesign, for Toyota has completely reshaped how the 2024 Toyota Tacoma looks, performs, and drives! In this article, we are going to dive into every detail we have about the all-new Tacoma, and share some of our predictions as well.
What’s New for 2024?
- Completely redesigned Exterior and Interior

Design and Features
Now, if you are a fan of the Tacoma’s bigger brother, the Tundra, then you are in luck for this redesign. Essentially, the Tacoma becomes a “mini Tundra,” utilizing much of the Tundra’s body lines and design language. Of course, each Tacoma will come with a different skin depending on trim, as can be seen in the gallery above. As for the interior, it’s a lot of the same story when it comes to mimicking the Tundra. At the center of the cabin will be an 8 or 14-inch display paired with an 8 or 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a nice upgrade from the Tundra. The biggest difference in the Tacoma’s cabin will be the more rugged and durable plastics as compared to nicer finishings on the Tundra. However, we noticed that Toyota has put in effort to make the new Tacoma’s cabin a more luxurious place to be, without sacrificing utility.

What’s Under the Hood?
Finally, Toyota has replaced the old V-6 with a new i-Force 4-Cylinder for this new generation, with specs as follows:
- i-Force – 2.4L Turbo I-4:
- SR: 228 hp | 243 lb.ft (lower tuning)
- SR5-Limited: 278 hp | 317 lb ft
- Same HP as last years V-6, a lot more torque (+52 lb.ft)
- With manual: 270 hp | 310 lb.ft
- i-Force MAX Hybrid – 2.4L Turbo I-4 + electric motor, nickel-hydride battery
- 326 hp | 465 lb.ft – Most powerful Tacoma ever
- Nearly double the previous V-6’s torque
- More powerful than Colorado High-Output, Ranger Raptor will beat it
- Optional: TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited
- Standard: TRD Pro, Trailhunter
- Transmission:
- Std: 8-speed automatic (including Hybrid)
- Opt: 6-speed manual
- 4×2 or 4×4:
- All models have Limited Slip Diff (LSD)
- Locking rear diff on TRD PreRunner, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, Trailhunter
As expected, fuel economy has not yet been rated, and we have yet to drive the 2024 Tacoma as of now.
When it comes to availability, the i-Force powertrain models will be available in late 2023, with the i-Force MAX models coming in early 2024.
