The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is on the Car and Driver’s 2024 Editors’ Choice list for many good reasons. It’s always been great for carrying the family around, hauling cargo, blazing trails, towing trailers, and more. However, the line was completely redesigned for the 2024 model year. It now has improved powertrains, modernized features, and much more.
Design
The attractive modern cabin has a raised ceiling that feels extra roomy, and the roof has newly squared angles creating additional headroom that taller occupants will truly appreciate. All the seat and steering wheel adjustments provided make finding the most comfortable position easy.
Few competitors offer a lineup as diverse as the 2024 Tacoma’s, which has a choice of two configurations for bed lengths, as well as for cabs. You’ll get a six-foot bed on the Extended Cab models, but Double Cab models also have an option for a five-foot bed.
Performance
The 2024 Tacoma is such a workhorse. You can tow up to 6,500 pounds, including most mid-sized trailers, and haul up to 1,705 pounds. Even better, the hardware you’ll need for adventuring almost anywhere is standard on all off-road models.
The lineup’s two lowest trims have a turbocharged 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine with 278 hp and 317 lb.-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission and part-time 4-wheel drive on demand are standard throughout the line. Although the 2024 Tacoma is as tough as it’s ever been, it behaves very well on the highway. You can depend on smooth, quick shifting and light, accurate steering to provide refined handling. The Tacoma’s powertrain also lets you pass and merge without thinking twice.
Technology
The 2024 Tacoma’s technology features were improved as part of the cabin’s makeover for the new model year. A 3-month free trial SiriusXM subscription comes with the standard 4-speaker audio system on the line’s base model, which also features an 8-inch multimedia touchscreen for the infotainment system. Higher trims have a standard 14-inch screen that displays stunning exterior camera views and maps.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are standard across the line. So you can easily access your phone’s content on the road, including maps, audio streaming, and more.
Safety
Toyota has installed valuable safety and driver’s aid features in all the 2024 Tacoma models, such as:
- Backup Camera with Projected Path
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Lane Tracing Assist
- Automatic High Beams
- Road Sign Assist
- Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Merge Warning
