The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is built on the same TNGA-F platform platform used in Toyota trucks like the Tundra and Sequoia. The Taco’s chassis combines laser welded aluminum and steel to create a lightweight structure with enhanced strength and durability.
The Toyota Tacoma gets standard underbody protection to keep the internal components safe from the trials of the terrain. The Trailhunter sports steel skid plates and mounted rock rails to keep you worry-free on your adventures.
Body Types:

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma gets two main powertrain configurations. Both sport a 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Good riddance to the previous generation’s V6!
i-FORCE: The i-FORCE gasoline engine generates a maximum of 278 hp and 317 lb ft of torque.
i-FORCE MAX: The Toyota hybrid i-FORCE MAX powertrain combines the efficiency of a turbocharged engine with the added power from a 48 hp motor to produce a sensational 326 horsepower and 465 lb ft of torque. This is the most powerful powertrain ever offered on the Toyota Tacoma.
Toyota Tacoma Towing Capacity:
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma’s most powerful trims can haul a maximum of 6500 pounds. i-FORCE Max Tacomas also get a higher payload of 1710 lbs.
The Tacoma can pull most medium-sized trailers with ease. Special features like a tow/haul drive mode and an optional trailer brake controller make towing much more convenient.
Top Competitors:
The Toyota Tacoma packs some powerful engines and off-road skills in a stylish and comfortable package. Few competitors can rival the Taco in the sheer number of trims and options it provides. Toyota’s Tacoma faces off against the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet Colorado.
Lower-end Tacomas end up looking a little less refined than, say, the base Colorados, which get 7700 pounds of maximum towing capacity compared to the Tacoma’s more average 6500. The GMC Canyon Twins and 2024 Jeep Gladiator are also tough competitors.
