- This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma mid-sized pickup truck.
We were only able to drive the standard all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma i-Force powertrain, a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic transmission, 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. There is a 6-speed manual transmission available on select models with automatic rev matching and anti-stall technology. Manual transmission models produce 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
The more powerful all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma I-Force Max Hybrid powertrain will be available next year. It has a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder with an 8-speed automatic transmission, 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. This nearly doubles the torque of the current V6 model.
The all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma can tow 6500 pounds and has an increased payload of over 1700 pounds. There is 7% increase in bed volume and an available tonneau cover. It gets 9.5” to 11” of ground clearance.
The all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma is designed, engineered and assembled in North America It is built upon the TNGA-F platform which uses lightweight and more durable frames and new powertrains to achieve better fuel economy, a lower centre of gravity and better overall performance on and off-road. This truck platform is shared with the Tundra and Sequoia.
Here’s the MSRP for the gas model, the hybrid pricing has not been announced yet.
In Canada, the Xtracab will be coming at a later time so there is no pricing for the Canadian market for that model.

Probably the best review I've seen and I've watched them all.
Love this Tacoma,I’m with Zac, manual for off road brushwork in Alberta…but now at 73yrs, hybrid auto just fine.Great reviews….
If anyone understands this market class… it has to be Toyota. They have been THE class leader in this category for years. This is probably the best truck (in any size) that 93% of the population need. It is that good. And as I am hardly a Toyota Tacoma ‘sycophant’… this is high praise. Thanks for the video.
Ladies truck. A real man doesn't fit in this penalty box. But if it works for you.....
2nd and 3rd gen owner here. Both bought new. Glad to hear they finally fixed the driveline issues. Sorry they didn't fix the other reason I sold them shortly after buying: I'm 5' 10" and have to duck to get in the cab. That and the transmission is why I sold.
Thanks James......I'm 6'5" and you answered my question.....I love Toyotas, but I won't waste my time if it doesn't fit me.
I've watched maybe 20 plus videos of the new tacoma. Finally, someone answered the stick shift option and which one gets it. Thank you
Oh great, glad you found what you were looking for.
I just bought this truck! Thank you so much for your thorough review on its features
You hit the nail on the head. I sold my 2019 TRD because of the transmission constantly shifting. I may try a 2024 later this year.
This looks so cool. After I graduate from nursing school. I'll be very tempted to get this new model. I miss my medium-sized truck with a 6-speed.
People used access cabs for storage, but they still used the clam shell doors for access. The ‘24 Xtracab is a step backwards. I should know, I drive an old one with no rear doors. It’s PITA to get anything in or out from behind the seats.
Nothing like a Taco. Thank you Toyota!!
I’m with Andrea; base model with a manual is what we need in overpriced Canada. I hope they eventually make an extended cab with 6’ bed and a manual trans, that’s the only way Toyota will get my money.
Pretty sure they got ya covered lol
Andrea: Look at me!
That was hilarious ❤
Thank You Guys, I see Zack very comfort in the cab with this new inches of raise on the roof, now with the new four cylinders engines in all pickups it's something to think about with high price on them, have a great day and I enjoy watching.
Toyota hits another HR! I plan on getting one next year.
The new Taco looks great, I’m gonna wait a few years for Toyota to refine and fix any issues before I get one.
I believe the hp on the colorado in the comparison section was just one of the engine options and not the 2.7t high output @ 310hp
There is no way I would ever get a Tacoma with a 4 cylinder I love my Tacoma 2005 with a real V6 HELL YA. And Turbos only last about 100 thousand miles and yes, I will knock it even if I try it
and the rear bumper with the drop-down tow hitch I dont like that I hope they put rear disk brake on it but that wont matter to me now that it has a 4 cylinder not all changers are good ones, I wont a V6 with turbos?????? or not??????? Sad Days for us Tacoma lovers :( :( you take so much wait of the bed that you will have even more problems sliding around when it rains or is wet or Snowy out not to happy with this new Tacoma, I guess my 2005 Tacoma will be my last
Great review ! Looking forward to the hybrid fuel consumption numbers & pricing.
Does the TRD Sport have an electronic rear locking differential or only available on TRD Off-road regardless of trim.
Hello to you both,
I enjoy your reviews and seems like the all-new Tacoma is a winner minus the price points and leg room and the back.
Great review!! At highway speed, is it comfortable with minimal road noise intrusion into the cabin? Just curious as a road trip vehicle
The reason the sales of six speed manual transmissions are low is because you can not get a manual transmission in a double cab with six foot box. If you could I would have bought my 2023 with a manual transmission. You can’t even put a pair of adult skis in a 5 foot box.
I think they would fit. Using Pythagoras theorem a=60", b=60" c=square root of (a*2 + b*2) or 84 inches
I've been holding off buying a new Tacoma for this very reason. I want a double cab 4x4 with a six foot box and a manual transmission. Why doesn't Toyota offer this configuration!? I don't get it.
@@RoadAndTrailNet I don’t think they have ever offered a double cab with 6 foot box and manual. It’s really too bad. Typical of the way North American car market is.
Let's get at it for sure both 🎉
Looks like a big improvement over last years. I really love the rugged exterior and the interior looks much more comfortable. Most vehicles at our Toyota are about 4 weeks out unless you want a specific setup. The turbo 4 I know is going to worry some people about longevity but I believe the bottom line is that this isn't the same turbo 4s we saw even 10 years ago. There is a good video of the chief engineer discussing the Toyota turbo 4.
Would you provide a link to the video with chief engineer discussing the turbo please. Thanks.
Your engine comparison with the Colorado was not really fair, they actually offer three different HP/Tq ratings depending on what you want to spend. I do like the looks of the new Taco and the interior issues appear to be finally fixed, and I would take that 6sp manual too!
Thanks for the very detailed review.
As a 2006 2wd 4cyl Tacoma, where is a non Turbo Hybrid Tacoma? That would be a fuel mileage king in this section! My 2.7L gets 11.5 L/100km city and 8.5 L/100km highway! I get 9.8L/100km towing 3000lbs of boat and trailer with 800lbs of load in the truck (people, dog and load). A electric assist front drive would be a nice addition as well!
Since it is a Toyota is there still a 2 years plus wait time?
Love to hear more insight on the owning it with the manual. I want to make a rational decision. I want to get the manual simply because I love and missed driving a 6-MT, but is the auto a wiser choice? i.e.: The engine and auto transmission more optimal for the engine performance, etc.
It does drive better with the automatic but the manual is fun. It is developed to be an auto, the manual was kept for the few that want one.
I'll keep my 2015 TRD Sport, 4.0 with 6sp manual, thank you.
I’m happy toyota stick with buttons for most of the important features and still have a big screen so looking at maps or 360 camera are easier.
Just a note: at 3:40 that seat will be all light gray, not with those two darker gray patches. That was just a material availability issue when those early prototype seats were made.
10% more efficient - well if you do not take too much advantage of the turbo (fortunately turbos last the life of the engine now - ah not). Now the gem is the manual transmission, it could be fantastic when people look back in 10 years. Great for "the many" who have not tried a manual transmission - the manual was just tough in bumper to bumper city traffic, but besides that they are pretty nice - they sometimes do not work "easily" with remote starters, but that might be a problem that no longer exists.
My 2019 manual Sport is fine in traffic. Extremely smooth and light clutch pedal.
I was tempted too buy one but not being able to get the power tailgate is almost a deal breaker why can’t we get it here someone with mobility issues this was real appealing just push a button nice and easy
Thanks for the update on the suspension, Toyota does things well, esp the new Tacoma..😅🎉
Great review.
Looks like a winner for sure, hope you don’t have to order it and wait for a year or more to get it…
great review
Are any of these new powerplants premium gas only requirement? Hopefully not!
Nice. Very good info. Thanks, guys! This really looks like a great, affordable truck. Can't wait for the hybrid review.
Here's a potential buyer of the MT version from Canada. You're not alone! :) Thanks for the review!
Fantastic looking truck, great review guys.
I own a 2022 tacoma 4x4 , my biggest issue is fuel range, I get about 17.5 fuel mileage and can go around 300 miles before looking to fill up, I also have a f150 4x4 with the 2.7 turbo ,it gets 20 mpg with a camper top and I can get 600 miles per tank because I ordered the extended range fuel tank. towing i can go 400 miles which is nice, so for me and other owners that I know ,who off road ,a extended range fuel tank would be nice or just put a bigger fuel tank in ,about 10 more gallons capacity would be real nice so we are not filling up so much .
Gen 3 Tacoma forever!
Ooohhh I like the blue one! Not bad pickup. It’s pricey pickup and I am disappointed not having power seat for driver and passenger! Great show Andrea! ☕️☕️
I'm still waiting for the hybrid models to test drive them. They keep pushing back on the date when they will actually arrive.
Would love the hybrid if I could get it without a turbo. I'd be more than happy to ditch more than half the power if I could also ditch a turbo.
Why ditch turbo? Are you old ( I don’t mean this disrespectfully, I’m 43 ). Turbos aren’t like they used to be, they’re actually reliable now and these engines have been proven with Lexus for years.
That said, if you just don’t like turbos that’s perfectly fine.
@@scootsmcdoots80 it's just a bunch more parts to fail in 10 years. Expensive repairs. I know turbos are more reliable than they used to be but they're still less reliable than no turbo. I do not value anything over ~150hp. I'd be happy to sacrifice all that excess power if it got me even 1% more reliability.
@@scootsmcdoots80Ah like the IS250 money pit?
Can you Tow four down, Is there any New Tacoma Towing behind the RV?
How’s it drive compared to the new Pro4X?
Was Zac on a Canadian tv show? I recognize him from something.... something from the 90's
Excellent review.👍🏻
Got mine brand new 2020 trd or 4x4 6sp manual tech package $35K I thought that was high priced before pandemic. Bilstein 2” lift 33” k02’s with heavy rock sliders not gonna lie i still get 19.8-20 mpg hwy 75-80mph . No tune !
Wonder how long till the Hybrid is available in Canada as this is my next vehicle.
If you want the fuel economy and price of a full-size truck, but with the size of a mid-size truck, the Tacoma is your jam!
Spot on👍
Been saying that a many couple years now
I'm excited to drive this new 4-cylinder turbo. Words I believed I would never hear in regards to a pickup. It look like fun
I'm going to wait for the two-door version. With the 6mt obviously
The extra cab does not have any rear doors?!!!
What trims will the hybrid come in?
kick ass!! it's going to dominate. One question...does the prices shown include freight, PDI etc or just MSRP?
The pricing is MSRP
Thanks Andrea...ok so on an old SR5 to new SR5 only a $2,880 increase...pretty good. However on the TRD Sport Prem $10K increase...gulp!! Great work as always was looking forward to the embargo lift@@andreaspencer9813
And the dealer markup? 😂
Recently went with Honda because the local Toyota dealer was marking up ridiculous amounts and Honda honored their advertised msrp.
Hi Andrea and Zack, my son is looking for his first car and he has his eyes set on the Corolla hatchback, should he go for the Standard S model or the SE upgrade? Also you think he should go for other hatchback other than Toyota? Thanks and love your show.
Get the Ford Maverick Hybrid instead. Great fuel economy and will be way more handy as he starts life.
my favourite is tacoma forever u can do everything outdoor city etc.
Can a 4x8 sheet of drywall be carried in the back of this truck?
Nice truck but love my 2023 TRD Sport with Premium package
You must have a much bigger garage than mine because it won’t fit here. That said, it’s a handsome rig!!!
ending was classic😄
Good Information
Great information as always, I want one as well! One thing I'd like to see are HVAC vents for the rear seats. I'm really looking forward to your reviews of the iForce Max models this spring. And I'd really like to know how it compares to the new Colorado and Ranger. Will you be reviewing any of the Tacoma competitors?
+++1 Yes, what's with no rear vents?! I fear that it's too late for this to just be a pre-production issue, but pray that it is not.
Base price comparison is useless unless you compare comparably equipped trucks. If the old truck had so many little issues, why is it the number 1 mid-sized pick up in sales?
I’m not a fan of that lower plastic spoiler nor the back seat leg room. But everything else looks great
You can just take it off and get hit with a 4 mpg penalty
Will the TRD Sport be available with manual transmission and 6 foot bed?
No, short bed only
Thieves must have requested the “anti-stall” technology on the manual transmission models. 😂
Most dealerships in the USA have $2K - $15K markups on all their vehicles. It’s stupid.
We drove 5 hours round trip to save $5K when I bought my wife her Outback for her 50th birthday.
Then we had to drive a 6 hour round trip to buy my Forester.
The Toyota dealership in Yakima, Washington Doesn’t have any markups and the Subaru dealership in Spokane Washington Doesn’t have any markup’s either.
Cascade Subaru in Wenatchee doesn’t have markups either, but they put a LOT pressure on you to sell You what you Don’t want and their service department SUCKS !
Haha, damn right Yakima doesn’t! I’m on the list for a trailhunter here in Yakima. I’m just praying the MSRP isn’t too bad on it.
@@elguapo8751 I don’t know about Bellevue dealerships.
1 of the Toyota dealerships (not Larson) doesn’t have dealership markups.
We live in a very mountainous area in north central Washington state between Wenatchee and Leavenworth.
Town Toyota in east Wenatchee has a $2K dealership markup and they DONT offer the Costco discount, but the Toyota dealership in Yakima Does offer the Costco discount and they Don’t have any markups.
When we bought our Subaru’s we drove to Tacoma for my wife’s Outback and to Carter Subaru in Shoreline.
When we bought our Subie’s it was post Covid and hardly anyone had any vehicles so we had to go where the dealer had the color combinations that we wanted.
My wife wanted the Cinnamon Brown pearl with Ivory interior. I wanted either the Bronze, Autumn Green or a White Forester but it had to have the saddle Brown Leather interior. There were a LOT of Forester Touring’s but they all had Boring, depressing, gloomy, outdated, drab Black interior, but Carter Subaru in Shoreline, WA had a Sephia Bronze with saddle Brown Leather interior with No markups, so we saved almost $7K for a 6 hour round trip to buy the Forester Touring that I had been looking for, for over 6 months. So we saved over $1K an hour for driving the 6 hours.
I was looking in WA, ID, MT, OR, but Shoreline had it.
Just pick up the phone and call around to see who will give you the better price.
Thanks. I live in Seattle. Will buy a 2024 Landscruiser/Tacoma and a GR86. I want to focus on dealers with no markups and maybe Costco discount . I'll probabkly drive over and buy from Yakima. Thanks for that
@@sunnyvalentino One of the Toyota dealerships (not Larson) in Tacoma that doesn’t have a markup either. They’re closer to you than Yakima, but Yakima has a 8.7% sales tax, rather than your 10% tax over on the Left side of Washington.
I've read that the trd sport will also have the I force max, now it doesn't appear the sport will not have the I force max option. Can you confirm
The Hybrid Max models haven't been announced yet but from the original press release from the spring, it looks like it’s the TRD Pro, Trailhunter and Limited models.
Thank you Andrea, I won't bother you all the screen shots that says different and I was excited for. Toyota has become confusing and annoying lately. Hard for me to say that. I've had 6 new toyotas in 13 years
@user-pt7nw8dm7k The US may have more hybrid models but nothing has been confirmed yet. I did ask, hopefully will get this information sooner than later.
Yes that's true, lots of US info as opposed to Canada. I appreciate your response
@user-pt7nw8dm7k No problem. So many more trims in the US plus the Xtracab.
Why is it so hard for Toyota to give you front power seats in their vehicles
For the same price you can get a Nissan Titan pro4x full size pickup fully loaded with a proven and reliable pushrod V8. These baby trucks asking for full size truck pricing is insane! especially now they add a turbo which is going to fail. What a shame toyota
Nope, PASS on the 4 banger Turbo. Bought a 2024 Pro 4X loaded and couldn't be happier. Happy Holiday's !
Bring back the V6 4.0 and Access Cab.
If it's only "around 10% better fuel economy, depending on the trim level", I'm not sure I'd take the extra complexity of turbo charging and electric motors over the near bulletproof,3.5 NA mill in my '23 TRD Pro 6MT. Especially considering the greatly increased MSRP up here...
The 2015 Tacoma is the last bullet proof generation.
Truck looks great and still have a manual 🤟but can't get pass that front spoiler
Remove a few small bolts and it's gone. Easy.
No one has mentioned all the MOLLE panels in the front doors and under that console grab bar - excellent design choice / kinda copied from the Bronco.
Awesome!
If I buy one #1 thing before I get off the lot - that air dam is coming right off
0:03 That Trail Hunter right there, price just announced on Toyota Canada Website; With tax? $100,000. ($98,902.88 to be exact).
Yup, here we are 2024. a $100,000 Tacoma.
Once my wife's rav is paid off my corolla is going to turn into a taco. I agree the SR5 should be a manual.
Holy moly, these trucks have gotten expensive. Leaves room for a Maverick competitor below this segment.
OVERPRICED !
0:44 is that a Zenith Pilot?
Good eye, yes
Cost 3k or more than previous year, Thanks Obiden
Hey what about the reliability????
The rep said it’s going to be good so just take their word for it.
I have a 2018 Tacoma and it is clear that test drivers were not involved in the development, the gearing is way, way, too tall you will have to put 5.29gears in it to drive it and there's nothing wrong with the transmission, it's the insanely tall gearing, and you will get a lot better fuel economy as well if you gear it down. The ride is god off full; the spring rate is way too much. The steering rideaus is horrible as well, you can't even make a U-turn on a wide road. The wheelbase is much too long, my folks have a Chevy Suburban and the overall length is longer. The seating position can be fix with a 3/4inch spacer under rear mounts. The new one is even bigger, was anybody asking for a bigger Tacoma? The new one gets less MPG than my old 4cly. How is a vehicle that get under 34MPG sold not paying a gas guzzler tax? Then there's is the price of the new one, it's insane, I thought the old ones where way overpriced but the new one, we are taking about a Tacoma here not a Cadillac Escalade.
I would wait a few years before buying this new model. If you are going to buy a first year model, Toyota is the way to go. However, a 4 cylinder turbo will not be as reliable as a non-turbo engine. That's just reality. Add an electric motor and now you have even more potential for longterm problems. Toyota had no choice but to go with a 4banger. They need to get the gas mileage up. This truck looks like a way overdue improvement, but the powertrain is still unproven. It will be interesting how much you'll actually have to pay for one of these.
I trust Toyota electric motor. Their hybrid is extremely solid and proven for years now.
The turbo 4 is the possible pain point though.
Toyota has developed this 4 cl. under commercial specifications. It has over 1 million miles of durability testing. I trust Toyota to build a dependable long lasting truck. There future depends on it!!
@@The75markWas it following the same amount of testing like the Tundra did that failed after a month in owners hands? Testing is fine but real world use always finds ways to use the truck that the testers never envisioned.
I am sorry you are so negative! I toyota has built there reputation on quality, dependability and durabitity! You can get a lemon in any brand but I have seen Tacomas come into the shop with over 300000 miles! I will match Toyotas quality with anyone! @@marklihsu
@@The75markYes, they had twenty Tacoma 4 cylinder turbo test mules and prototypes that each covered 50,000 miles of durability testing. So 1 million miles total.😂
2024 Tacoma limited $53k
2024 tundra limited 4x4 crewmax can be bought for $58k right now.
Which truck would you buy? :)
Ppl buy the manual pleeeeease, if ur getting this. Lets keep this available.
I can't believe nobody is saying anything about the giant iPad on the dash? It couldn't look more like an afterthought than it does. I'm sure they could have integrated it into the dash for a cleaner appearance. I love everything else about it but that screen just doesn't work for me.
Leaf springs are best for a truck. All truck guys know that.
Like it!
The fuel efficiency increase of 10% is very disappointing. The upcoming LandCruiser (Prado) is estimated to get 27MPG combined, and the i-force Tacoma is fighting, FIGHTING for 21MPG combined whilst wearing a huge chin spoiler!?! The base and i-force (non-max) engines are just average for the class. Very underwhelming Toyota.
On Pricing: a Tacoma ‘24 limited i-force is $10K~ USD more than the ‘23, which is significant and feels way out of step.
Seriously - a ‘24 Tundra Limited configured the same way is only $5k more and gets 1MPG less city/highway/combined. You can’t make this stuff up.
Is Toyota really going to drag their feet until late March/April for the Limited, TRD-Pro, and Trail Hunter drive-event and embargo release? Those trucks are being tested all over the roads in the USA right now.
Do a lot of short trips, less than a mile, would kill the turbocharger in a hurry.
Watch the video where they interview the Toyota rep. It will ease a lot of your fears about Toyota turbos
@@gpaull2But the PR guy told me it would last forever
Wow, could they clean up the engine bay just a bit?!?!
Looks like somebody spilled their plate of spaghetti.
Me gusta toyota tacoma. Para Marco Aurelio
