Hybrid powered Tacoma produces
up to 326 hp, 465 lb.-ft. of torque
    
(April 25, 2024) PLANO, Texas — The Toyota Tacoma is shaking up the midsize truck segment again with the addition of the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. The i-FORCE MAX pairs a 2.4-liter engine with a 48-hp electric motor integrated exclusively into the 8-speed transmission for the most powerful powertrain ever offered on Tacoma. With a total system output of up to 326 horsepower and a whopping 465 lb.-ft. of torque, that’s a 75% increase in torque compared to the previous generation V-6 powered truck.

Redesigned inside and out, with more power, comfort, and tech, the 2024 Tacoma embraces its off-road roots and takes them to a new level with the first-ever Trailhunter grade. Developed from the ground up for those seeking extended adventures, Tacoma Trailhunter builds upon Toyota’s legendary off-road and overlanding credibility with purpose-built engineering and robust components.

Exclusively powered by i-FORCE MAX and available in a choice of 5-or 6-foot bed configurations, it includes standard features like Old Man Emu forged monotube shocks, a low-profile high-mount air intake mounted to the A pillar, 33-inch Goodyear Territory Rugged-Terrain tires with 18-in bronze-finished alloy wheels, and unique exterior features like RIGID Industries color switching LED fog lamps and the bronze-colored “TOYOTA” heritage-inspired grille with an integrated LED Light Bar.

The TRD Pro is also an i-FORCE MAX exclusive grade, with the TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited grades having the option for the hybrid powertrain. The TRD Pro debuts the segment-first, standard IsoDynamic Performance Front Seats, which use an air-over-oil shock absorber system allowing for vertical and lateral seat movement simultaneously to help reduce body movement and stabilize the head and neck to keep alignment with the spine.

TRD Pro also packs in additional standard features like a TRD-Tuned FOX QS3 adjustable shocks with rear remote reservoirs, a TRD performance air intake, 33-inch Goodyear Territory Rugged-Terrain tires with 18-in black alloy wheels, and available two-tone exterior paint including the TRD PRO-exclusive Terra color.

The first ever i-FORCE MAX Tacoma also brings standard 4-Wheel Drive that is ready for the road or trail. TRD and Trailhunter grades have standard part-time 4-Wheel Drive with an electronically controlled 2-speed transfer case. When the trail gets truly demanding, a front Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism is Standard on TRD Pro and Trailhunter and is available on TRD Off-Road.

The premium Limited i-FORCE MAX grade has Full-time 4-Wheel Drive with an electronic locking center differential and a smooth-riding Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS). Whether it’s on- or off-road, work or play, the new 2024 i-FORCE MAX Tacoma is ready to join drivers as their ultimate adventure machine.

The all-new 2024 Tacoma with i-FORCE MAX models are expected to arrive at Toyota dealerships later this Spring starting at $46,300 for the TRD Sport grade.
