The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Will Offer a Manual

The ancient, current-generation Toyota Tacoma is set to be replaced by an all-new model. When it dies, we assumed that its six-speed manual would go with it. After all, the teasers have confirmed it'll offer a hybrid drivetrain, a removable speaker, and (finally) a modern rear brake system, so Toyota seems to be focusing on modernizing the truck. On Tuesday, however, the company confirmed that one old-school feature is sticking around: the manual transmission.

"Legends are more than automatic; they always come in clutch," the company's release says. "The all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma, available with a six-speed manual transmission. Stay tuned for more."
