2024 Tacoma – Here's The New Competition! 🥊 Now With Hybrid Model

[NTXTremor]

Kidding aside, the new Taco has some cool new features, but I am confident that the new Ranger 6g will compete very nicely head to head. I would bet that the new Ranger Raptor will outperform any of the new Taco trims levels.

Aesthetics are a personal preference of course, but I still like the looks of the Ranger 5g more than the 6g while both of them look so much better than any of the Tacos from the video.

I do like the "bronze-colored “TOYOTA” heritage-inspired grille with an integrated 20-inch LED light bar."

Congratulations, Toyota! You just invented the... (checks notes)... 2002 Chevy Avalanche!

Actually, that is an insult to the Avalanche. The new Tacoma is MUCH uglier.

Lol

he 2024 Toyota Tacoma is a breath of fresh air. With fresh styling, new engines, and a sophisticated interior, it's a great improvement over the outgoing (but still very popular) model. Interestingly, the latest iteration will do away with a feature offered by the current generation: rear seats in the shorter cab model.

According to Sheldon Brown, Chief Engineer at Toyota Motor North America, a staggering 50% of smaller cab customers specified a rear seat delete on the last Tacoma. Instead of offering buyers what they don't want, the Japanese automaker has redesigned the space for maximum storage. When you look at the statistics, this move starts to make sense.

Only 3% of 2022 Tacoma drivers utilize their rear seats daily. The majority (39%) have people in the back less than once a month, while 30% admitted never using the second row.

Here's Why The 2024 Toyota Tacoma XtraCab Doesn't Have A Back Seat Toyota

This two-door model will continue to be sold as the XtraCab. Toyota says this derivative is all about "maximum utility" which means it's aimed at tradespeople and customers who use their vehicles as workhorses. While there aren't any seats, customers can look forward to lockable, floor-mounted stowage compartments that can accommodate tools and other important equipment.

The practical body style will debut with a lockable storage unit on the back panel. This, says Toyota, should be big enough for items like fishing poles or even shovels. The horizontal positioning of the storage place allows for these larger items to be concealed with ease.

But that's not all. The passenger seat can be folded flat and used as a workstation, which is similar in concept to the Ford F-150's collapsible gear lever.

Here's Why The 2024 Toyota Tacoma XtraCab Doesn't Have A Back Seat Toyota

To gain quick and easy access to the rear quarters of the XtraCab, the driver's seat will feature a long-slide function (with a memory setting) that allows you to grab tools quickly without ruining your driving position. Two bed sizes (five- and six-foot) will be made available, but the XtraCab receives the longer bed as standard.

Unfortunately, the Tacoma XtraCab is only available in three trim grades: SR, SR5, and TRD PreRunner. If you want the desirable Trailhunter derivative, you'll have to upgrade to the four-door Double Cab.

While some buyers may be disappointed by the news, it's great to see Toyota streamlining its options and catering to distinct commercial and private segments. In a workhorse, secure storage space is far more important than jump seats, and we're sure Toyota's target market will appreciate this decision.

I'm very curious how the truck drives with the manual transmission. I don't know how the auto is either, but I assume it's better than the craptastic calibration on the current ranger 10 speed. Interior is meh, the GM twins still look much more upscale inside. Feels like the Toyota went to much in the "we're the Xtreemiest truck on the planet" direction with the styling. The suspension in the seats is a nifty bit of tech if it actually does something useful though.

One thing that surprises me for all the midsize truck launches is it looks like the ancient Gladiator of all things might be the first to offer a true PHEV model. Something with 50ish miles of plug in range would be perfect for me, but so far, no options.

This truck will out sell every other truck in the same category.

Bitch all you want, we all know this.

 

[ctechbob]

Are they going to go forward with their abysmal payload ratings like the current Taco? Seriously, 1000# in a later model version I saw TFL test a week or so ago.

They'll sell all they can make, just because Toyota Tacoma, but unless they beefed something up underneath I'm not stoked.

Ford lost me doing away with the Tremor package. I have one, and don't need it but it was nice to know its there.
I am interested in the tacoma. I'll give it a year or 2 for the fools to pay sticker and above to be able to say they where the first to buy a depreciating item.
