Yahoo Autos 2024 Toyota Tacoma: Everything We Know So Far
Toyota is expected to reveal an all-new Tacoma pickup sometime in May 2023. Leading up to the launch, the Japanese automaker has dropped a handful of teasers to drum up hype for the highly desirable mid-size truck. Here's what we know so far.
There Will Be a Manual Transmission Option
Much to everyone's surprise, Toyota confirmed on May 2 the 2024 Tacoma will be available with a manual transmission. At a time when every automaker is abandoning the stick shift, this is a major win for enthusiasts and a decision that makes us even more excited to drive the truck.
It Will Have an Optional i-Force Max Hybrid Powertrain
Toyota plans for its entire lineup to be hybridized or electric by 2025. The automaker confirmed on April 4 it will offer a version of its i-Force Max Hybrid Powertrain—currently available on cars like the Tundra and Sequoia—on the Tacoma. It's unclear the twin-turbo V-6 will make it to the smaller platform. With 583 lb-ft of torque available, we hope it does.

It Will Ride on the Tundra's Platform
Toyota said on April 4 the 2024 Tacoma will be based on the bigger Tundra's platform (shown above). That should mean improved the noise, vibration, and harshness, along with better efficiency and crash safety protection.
