As Toyota has been riding great strides off of their truck segment portion of the company, they do the best thing they ever did and refresh the ever popular Toyota Tacoma. For 2024 and our tester, the Tacoma TRD Off-Road wrapped in Blue Crush Metallic, which seems more purple in the sunlight, showed out nicely while riding on 17-inch machined wheels.

Powered by a 2.4-liter iFORCE turbocharged engine, did a great job and wasn’t too loud, unlike others in this category. Coming in at almost 4,200 pounds, the 2024 Tacoma grows in size overall over previous generations, and our TRD Off Road also grows in height. With 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, the Tacoma has no problem getting up and going while still maintaining a 21+ miles per gallon. With a 5-foot bed and 8-speed automatic transmission ,the Tacoma powertrain is a great match, and one that is realistic and quiet.

Our TRD Off-Road package optioned up the Tacoma an additional $8,800 which included an array of features for the spend. SofTex heated and ventilated seats, leather trimmed steering wheel, a 14-inch center console protruding infotainment system, JBL Premium Audio system, moonroof, AC power inverter, Towing Technology, digital rear-view mirror, and much more.

Toyota has had a ton of success in the truck segment, and off-road truck success in their ever-growing fleet of long-lasting reliable vehicles. The Tacoma is no different and our TRD Off-Road boasts great qualities ranging from the honey-do list around the house, to the off-road weekend warriors looking for trails and inclines. As Toyota has a lot to show for in the mass-market manufacturer category, Toyota, unlike Honda, has the truck segment cornered in attempts with keeping up with other truck manufacturers like Ford and RAM. Good Work Toyota, keep the refreshes coming!
