What we know about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma so far

It’s finally here – Toyota has announced that the official unveiling of the much-anticipated 2024 Toyota Tacoma will take place on May 19. (It’s at 1:30 am, so get your coffee pot prepped.) Rumors have been flying about this new Toyota truck since its redesign was announced. Will it look like the Tundra? Will it be electrified? Is the manual option going to disappear? Toyota of Clermont is here with every single bit of 2024 Toyota Tacoma information we’ve found so far – get ready for your test drive.

 

 

Everything we know about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma

Design: 

• It’s getting a full redesign – bumper to bumper. It’s due; this popular Clermont Toyota truck hasn’t been redesigned since 2015 and fans have been clamoring for it. The 4th generation will officially be revealed in mere weeks and we should be able to see it in person at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
• Toyota has given us teaser photos; we can’t really see the details of the truck, but we can see the silhouette and that stylistically, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma looks to resemble the redesigned Toyota Tundra and Sequoia. These redesigned trucks are much more muscular and angular, and we’re betting the Tacoma fits right into the family.
• We’re betting on multiple bed and cab options. Toyota released a teaser video indicating that there will be both crew and extended cabs available, as well as a long bed option.

Performance: 

• For the first time ever, a hybrid option will be available for the 2024 Toyota Tacoma. It’ll offer a new i-Force Max engine option with enhanced horsepower and torque, as well as better fuel efficiency. We also are willing to bet a new gasoline engine will be brought into the mix. The 2022 Toyota Tundra and 2023 Toyota Sequoia both introduced a turbocharged option for their redesigns, and we think the 2024 Toyota Tacoma will follow that track.

• There’s also a new platform in the picture. The 2024 Toyota Tacoma will feature the new TNGA-F platform, which is body-on-frame. This is huge and means that this new generation of the Clermont Toyota will be better for off-roading, towing, and handling in general.
• You’re not losing the manual edition. Toyota released some teaser pictures featuring a gas, brake, and clutch pedal; they also confirmed that a six-speed manual transmission is a guarantee. (A lot of fans were speculating that the manual would disappear with the introduction of a hybrid or EV option.)

• A new special edition model is coming into the picture. The Trailhunter special edition featuring ARB parts – from what we gleaned from the teaser photo – will be perfect for overlanding, off-roading, and adventures off the pavement.

Additionally, we’re pretty sure that an updated and improved audio system is being introduced. We think a bigger touchscreen will be featured (the current screen is 8″). Additionally, we think that the new audio system on the 2024 Toyota Tacoma will offer wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as Toyota Connected Services. And Toyota announced that JBL will be available – this new Clermont Toyota truck is going to showcase a JBL Flex speaker that can be removed from the truck and used as a portable speaker.
