2026 Toyota Tacoma

The redesigned 2024 Toyota Tacoma adapts the platform from the latest full-sized Tundra pickup and Sequoia SUV, and it borrows an optional hybrid powertrain from the Toyota Crown. Throw in several off-road-focused trim levels, some serious adventure-ready hardware, big screens, and the latest safety features, and the new Tacoma promises to be much more modern. There are two-door extended cab and four-door crew cab configurations; 5- and 6-foot beds; and rear- and four-wheel drive. There are several versions of the 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, ranging from 228 to 278, depending on trim and transmission. A 326-hp, 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid four-cylinder engine is also available. The Tacoma has a full suite of standard active safety and convenience features, but BSW and RCTW are only optional.

Brand context

About Toyota

Toyota mostly fulfills its reputation for building efficient and exceptionally reliable vehicles. Most of their models do well in our testing, thanks to their impressive fuel economy, comfortable rides, quiet cabins, and ease of getting in and out. All of this makes Toyotas among the best options for used vehicles. The brand was a hybrid pioneer, starting with the original Prius. Toyota has evolved and expanded that technology, and most vehicles in its lineup are available as a hybrid. Toyota also sells a number of plug-in hybrids, which were once called Prime but are now simply referred to as Plug-in. The company also knows how to add a dose of excitement into its lineup. The GR86, GR Corolla, and Supra are legit, fun-to-drive sports cars. However, some models we’ve tested have been disappointing. The company’s EV, the bZ4X SUV, is mediocre.
