2024 Toyota Tacoma Specs, Features & Review - Complete Buyer's Guide (2024)

There was a period of time when a mid-size pickup truck buyer only had a few options to choose from. Today, the segment has more from several brands either introducing or reviving mid-size truck nameplates. Despite a more crowded list of choices, the Toyota Tacoma has remained a favorite choice among mid-size truck buyers.

The Tacoma offers multiple bed and cab configurations as well as a new 326-horsepower hybrid option. Now in its fourth generation, the Tacoma carries on the pickup's legacy into the future with its latest version that continues to earn the attention of drivers who want pickup truck functionality with a smaller, more nimble driving experience.

The Tacoma is available in multiple trim levels that range from relatively basic to well-appointed with a sizable list of features. For 2024, the Tacoma relies on different versions of a potent turbo 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. It dropped its V-6 engine option, similar to the Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon.

If you want a mid-size with a V-6, you'll have to look elsewhere, at the Tacoma's competitors like the Nissan Frontier or Jeep Gladiator. Despite the change in engine choices, the Tacoma still offers adequate power that should suit the needs of most mid-size truck buyers.

The price of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma starts at $32,995 and goes up to $53,595 depending on the trim and package.
