The 2024 Toyota Tacoma will arrive at dealerships next month and the company has announced pricing will start at $31,500 before a $1,495 destination fee.

That’s pretty pricey considering the 2023 Chevrolet Colorado comes standard in a crew cab configuration and costs $30,695 including destination. The Tacoma is also more expensive than the 2023 Nissan Frontier, which begins at $30,905 with destination. However, the truck undercuts the 2024 Ford Ranger which will set you back at least $34,160.

Tacoma SR

Putting the competition aside, the entry-level Tacoma SR is offered in XtraCab and Double Cab configurations with 5’ or 6’ beds. Buyers will also find LED headlights and 17-inch steel wheels that are backed up by newly standard disc brakes at all four corners.

The interior is pretty bare bones, but highlights include a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, USB-C charging ports, and a push-button ignition. They’re joined by a 7-inch cluster display and an 8-inch infotainment system with a super-sized surround.

Despite its entry-level status, the Tacoma SR features the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of driver assistance systems. It includes adaptive cruise control, lane tracing assist (lane centering), and a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. They’re joined by automatic high beams, road sign assist, proactive driving assist, and lane departure alert with steering assist.

Tacoma SR5

Moving up the trim ladder is the Tacoma SR5, which begins at $36,200. While it’s available in XtraCab and Double Cab configurations, the latter variant is notable for trading the standard leaf springs for a multi-link rear suspension.

On the styling front, the SR5 is distinguished by body-color bumpers and 17-inch alloy wheels. They’re joined by LED fog lights and a Class IV receiver.

Additional changes are limited, but the truck has an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert. Buyers will also find a rail system, which has “four adjustable tie-down cleats and fixed cargo bed tie-down points.”

Tacoma TRD PreRunner

The Tacoma TRD PreRunner costs $38,100 and is available exclusively as an XtraCab with rear-wheel drive and a 6’ bed. The rugged variant features a lifted front end, an electronically locking rear differential, and underbody protection. Other highlights include a dampened tailgate and 17-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires.

Moving inside, drivers will find a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. They’re joined by an automatic climate control system.

Tacoma TRD Sport

If that doesn’t float your boat, perhaps the Tacoma TRD Sport will do the trick. It starts at $39,400 and is a Double Cab pickup with 5’ and 6’ beds. It sports larger front discs and black 18-inch wheels. Other highlights include LED bed lights and a standard multi-link rear suspension.

The truck also comes equipped with a hood scoop and sport-tuned shocks. They’re accompanied by black badging and aluminum pedals.

The Tacoma TRD Off-Road begins at $41,800 and has a unique suspension with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks. The truck also has a front skid plate, underbody protection, and 17-inch alloy wheels shod in all-terrain rubber.

Tacoma Limited

Lastly, for now, is the $52,100 Tacoma Limited. It sports LED headlights, sequential LED turn signals, and a 5’ bed. Buyers will also find power running boards, a moonroof, a power sliding rear window, and 18-inch chrome wheels.

The upgrades continue in the cabin as there’s power SofTex front seats with heating and ventilation. They’re joined by a heated leather steering wheel, a dual-zone automatic climate control system, and a 14-inch infotainment system. Other highlights include a head-up display, digital key technology, and a 10-speaker audio system with a removable bluetooth speaker. Buyers will also find a digital rearview mirror, HomeLink, and 120V AC outlets.

That’s a pretty extensive list of equipment and that’s before we mention an integrated trailer brake controller, a trailer backup guide, and a trailer blind spot monitor. The truck also has a 3D panoramic view monitor as well as front and rear parking assist with automatic braking.

Tacoma TRD Off-Road

Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that has three different outputs. The entry-level unit has 228 hp (170 kW / 231 PS) and 243 lb-ft (329 Nm) of torque, while the range-topping version boasts 278 hp (207 kW / 282 PS) and 317 lb-ft (429 Nm) of torque.

Both the aforementioned engines are connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission, but customers can also get a six-speed manual on a handful of trims. While your choices are limited, manual models have 270 hp (201 kW / 274 PS) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque.

Next spring, the engine lineup will be expanded to include an i-Force Max hybrid powertrain. It combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a 1.87 kWh battery pack and an electric motor that is integrated into the eight-speed automatic transmission. This setup allows for up to 326 hp (243 kW / 331 PS) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque.

 2024 Toyota Tacoma Starts At $31,500 And Hits $52,100 In Limited Trim

The hybrid powertrain comes standard on the TRD Pro and Trailhunter. Customers can also get it on the TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited.

We’ll learn more about the hybrid variants next year, but the conventionally powered truck offers an estimated fuel economy rating of up to 21 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. Manual four-wheel drive variants are notably thirstier as they’re expected to return 18 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined.

Sticking with numbers, buyers will find a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,705 lbs (773 kg) and a tow rating of up to 6,500 lbs (2,948 kg). We’ll have more to say about the Tacoma soon, so stay tuned.
