Toyota's celebrated plug-in hybrid enters 2025 with a refined identity as the Prius Plug-in...
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma, renowned for dominating the mid-size pickup truck segment in Canada, is back with a groundbreaking redesign for its newest iteration. Set to arrive in Canadian Toyota Dealerships in January 2024, the all-new Tacoma is reimagined to enhance its legacy of quality, durability, reliability, and now, cutting-edge technology and modern styling. Here we explore the key aspects and pricing of this eagerly anticipated model.
- Redesigned Platform and Structure
The 2024 Tacoma is built on the TNGA-F global truck platform, shared with its siblings - Tundra, Sequoia, and Land Cruiser. This foundation uses high-strength steel with innovative welding techniques to increase rigidity while incorporating aluminum for weight reduction. This robust structure is essential for the Tacoma’s enhanced off-road capabilities and overall durability.
- Advanced Powertrains
Toyota introduces two new powertrain options for the Tacoma, ensuring both power and efficiency. The standard turbocharged i-FORCE 2.4-liter engine offers up to 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. Additionally, the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain is a showstopper, delivering up to 326 horsepower and a colossal 465 lb.-ft. of torque, setting a new benchmark for torque in the mid-size truck segment.
- Suspension and Handling Innovations
A significant leap forward is the Tacoma’s fully redesigned coil spring multi-link rear suspension. Standard across all Canadian grades, this new suspension system significantly improves ride quality and handling, providing an exceptional balance for both on- and off-road driving.
- Interior and Exterior Design
The interior and exterior of the 2024 Tacoma reflect Toyota’s commitment to functional yet stylish design. Inspired by the Baja race trucks, the Tacoma features a high lift, slim body, and powerful athletic stance. Interior design focuses on ergonomic comfort and modern technology, with features like the available 14-inch touchscreen display, showcasing Toyota’s latest multimedia system.
- Off-Road Capability
Engineers have made improvements across all grades to enhance the Tacoma’s off-road prowess. Features like strengthened frame crossmembers, integrated high-lift jack points, and reinforced roof with attachment holes demonstrate a deep understanding of off-road needs. This makes the Tacoma an ideal choice for a variety of terrains and adventures.
