Overview

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma finally has the goods to go toe to toe with modernized mid-size rivals such as the Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado. Not only does the all-new Taco have brawny bodywork, but its interior finally qualifies as contemporary, with an attractive aesthetic supplemented by crisp digital displays. The Tacoma lineup is also more diverse than most alternatives, offering two cab and bed configurations. Power comes from a new turbocharged four-cylinder with different output levels, but the mightiest Tacoma is the 326-hp hybrid model, which we review separately. Most models also trade the archaic leaf-spring rear suspension for more sophisticated coil springs, yet another example of the Tacoma's newfound competitiveness that helped earn it a spot on our 2024 Editors' Choice list.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

A turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder powers every Tacoma. However, the engine comes in two forms and pairs with either an eight-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual. Rear- and four-wheel drive are both available. The base 228-hp turbo four is only found in the entry-level SR, and the rest of the lineup gets mightier iForce variations with up to 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. While all Tacomas feature a body-on-frame construction, there are two different rear suspensions. The SR, SR5 extended cab, and the TRD PreRunner are buoyed by old-school leaf springs, whereas the rest have coil springs. We had the chance to drive the nonhybrid Tacoma and came away impressed with the truck's newfound on-road refinement. Especially models with the new coil springs, which offer a significantly improved ride over those with the older leaf spring hardware. When we tested the Tacoma with the 278-hp four, it managed a 7.0-second run to 60 mph. Around town, the powertrain provides more than adequate thrust, and highway merging and passing tasks are completed without much stress. Since the Tacoma makes its bread playing in the dirt, the off-road-focused models come with the hardware to go almost everywhere.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Inside, the redesigned Tacoma makes big strides in both design and packaging. The dashboard boasts nicer materials along with high-resolution screens and traditional switchgear. While most Tacos have a 7.0-inch digital gauge cluster, TRD Off-Road models and up feature a larger 12.3-inch all-digital unit.

A head-up display comes standard on the Limited and above, with those models also packing heated and cooled front seats. Every model also benefits from a raised seating position with similarly added headroom, meaning the driver no longer feels like they're sitting on the floor. A more adjustable steering column should make the truck more comfortable for more people. Like its predecessor, the 2024 Tacoma is offered with extended-cab (called XtraCab) and crew-cab (called Double Cab) body styles. The XtraCab only pairs with a six-foot cargo bed, but the Double Cab is offered with either the longer box or a shorter five-foot version.
