Standard bearer for the class, the Toyota Tacoma is all-new for the 2024 model year. It features more aggressive styling that remains recognizable as a Tacoma, and it's backed up by an all-new chassis and suspension that rides more smoothly over ruts and bumps than before. The old V6 is gone, replaced by a lineup of turbocharged four-cylinder engines.Edmunds Capable of doing everything from hauling parts to carting around a family to conquering the toughest trails, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma has long been a jack-of-all-trades to truck buyers. The newest Tacoma is a clear step ahead of older versions. Toyota addressed one of its longest-standing complaints about its midsize pickup with the 2024 Tacoma with an all-new interior. Ruggedly styled with squared-off angles and chunky control knobs, it is also far more comfortable to sit in, especially for tall drivers. Previous Tacomas felt like you were sitting on the floor, but this new truck's seat and steering wheel adjustment range results in a more natural-feeling seating position. The buttons are easy to find and tap, and it works well for displaying navigation maps or exterior camera views. Toyota offers a bewildering array of Tacomas aimed at differing priorities. For our purposes, TRD Sport strikes the right balance of on-road comfort, off-road capability and affordability. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard on all Tacomas. This suite of driver aids includesForward collision warning with automatic braking, Adaptive cruise control Lane departure mitigation ally steer to maintain lane position and a Lane centering system SR5 offers A better-equipped Tacoma by way of a 278-hp engine, Bed rails with movable tie-down cleats, Coil-spring rear suspension, Keyless entry on all doors and Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning TRD Sport forgoes the PreRunners off-road equipment in favor of18-inch wheels, TRD-tuned suspension dampers for sportier handling, LED bed lighting and a Six-speaker audio system
