2024 Toyota Tacoma, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter Revealed with Vast Array of Choices

[@Majorbanjo]

I like the trail hunter with the longer bed...but that sport bar on the back would be the first thing I removed...

@@HarryKuloh I’m assuming you’re referring to roll bars. They’ve been on trucks since the late 70s. They were to be believed as a external rollcage mounted to the bed.

[@dirtandhappiness2023]

It’s optional.

[@charlietango6546]

Hope the 4Runner will have a similar update next year

[@BrendanEvan]

I NEED an online configurator

[@toddmcgee5982]

Good job on this review. I have watched a few Tacoma launch reviews and appreciate the details on the different trims, and the simple but high quality production value on this. This has been the most straight forward and informative for me.

[@MikeTarlton]

The TRD Pro looks great but the gloss black on anything but the roof has to go.

[@tri3pleagent]

Toyota styling is always over cooked with these trucks. It screams try hard.

[@denisleblanc4506]

Finally a manufacturer that put a coil spring rear suspension in most of the trims. Not only that but they have ajustable shocks or adaptive dampers. Maybe the Canyon isn't the trop dog now, but the Tacoma my also have an eyewatering price. Toyota didn't have a choice, if they want to keep their share of the market they had to throw everything at it and they did including seats with suspensions. Well done.

[@xTheOriginalx]

Those gloss black trim pieces are going to be so spider webbed

[@JulioMartinez-pc8pc]

If you’re cheap and don’t ceramic coal them, people who can’t afford it shouldn’t buy black cars lol

[@dand2334]

Since these are all early, or very early pre production vehicles, I’ve gotta think that Toyota is trying to steal, or keeping potential buyers from buying one of the Chevy/GMC trucks with these early showings. The hybrid Pro and Trail hunter will not show up on dealer lots until this time NEXT year. Hopefully the new 6th generation 4Runner or its replacement will also show up by then. Really hoping for at least mid 25 MPG or better on the highway, where most of the trucks spend 90% of their time.

[@Sackmatters]

My 2016 Trd OR already gets 26-27 mpg. Throw some good additives in the truck and it’ll treat you very well.

[@garrettyamada9821]

I saw in another video, that the full reveal, complete with all specifications and prices, is supposed to be sometime in November. There is also a possibility that Toyota is thinking about offering a mild 2-3 inch lift that will be covered by their warranty, which will allow clearance for 35's. As for the 4RUNNER, it supposedly isn't going to be teased until sometime in 2025. I'm not happy about having to wait that long, but what else can we do?

[@Johno530]

The TRD pro looks taller than the Trailhunter. Do they have the same lift?

[@stevend3753]

HP and TQ of not top end motors?

[@bruceleeroy8302]

I saw one of these on the Toyota lot and test drove it. It was the base SR model with a 6 speed manual and the engine screeches in lower gears when you try to accelerate. Also, the price with all the forced dealer add ons is pushing $50k before taxes.

If we can get the Tail Hunter or TRD PRO for the same price as a Ranger Raptor at $56k and the Chevy Colorado ZR2 then we will have some awesome shoot outs in the upcoming comparison videos on KZbin 🎉❤😊 After watching this Ranger Raptor wish list is a Hybrid version with the 2.7 in exchange for the High Output 3.0 EcoBoost… I don’t know anything about this 8!Speed Tacoma Transmission but the Ranger 10 Speed Transmission with the 2.7 has been in 6 of my F150 work trucks am has been so dependable and fuel efficient…

[@andre899]

The ranger have better suspension and a powerful engine. Also a better interior.

[@keithjackson4985]

These trucks seem so functional. I really like all the thoughtful touches throughout the lineup. Forgive me for going off point, but this is why Toyota should have just borrowed the drivetrain for the Supra. Very few companies do function and thoughtfulness like Toyota, or Honda.

[@michaeldumaup5368]

[@66skate]

The interior on the Limited looks really good. I don't want any chrome though. If they offer a black appearance package, that might be my choice.

[@DoradoFever]

The front/rear lockers and trail cameras on the ZR2/AT4X bring more of a draw personally. But glad Toyota is finally revamping the Tacoma so the market stays competitive.

[@chrisx5127]

No one is taking a ZR2 or AT4X off-road. It is all a gimmick. I never see a fleet of ZR2 or AT4X off-road. Only see Jeeps and Toyotas.

What do you think about the new Tacoma? Read more here: www.caranddriver.com/news/a43921921/2024-toyota-tacoma-revealed/

[@ravenragnar]

While these design traits contribute to their overall appeal, it's important to note that the appearance of a vehicle is subjective, and what may be perceived as "evil" to one person might be seen as bold or assertive to another. In short, Toyota crushed it yet again. I give it an evil score 5 out of 5.

[@pilot_gti]

Thank you Toyota for keeping the manual!

[@tri3pleagent]

I think I'd opt for the Raptor based on what I've seen here.

[@charlietango6546]

I'm hoping the reliability that Toyota is known for remains. But I have my doubts now with how a turbo and hybrid will work out for the few that will take them off road. Plus that new transmission too. Maybe 5-6 years before we find out?

[@ravenragnar]

@@charlietango6546 They been building bulletproof transmissions. Don't see how they go backwards. I can you tell you this. I'll never touch a ford product with a 100' pole.

[@macaron3141592653]

Toyota's hybrid tech has been pretty reliable, they're like the masters of it.

[@Sackmatters]

@@macaron3141592653 I agree but not for off-road application. Jarring and banging around I just don’t want to rely on it. I’m not against the hybrid aspect I just don’t think its suited to this application.

[@KPHVAC]

Toyota's hybrids are extremely reliable. Think about all the Camry and RAV4 hybrids working as taxis and Ubers for 300,000+ miles. The vast majority of drivers aren't doing serious off roading. It's probably not the best truck for MOAB or rock crawling every weekend.

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

Same! I can live without the extra power. Plus the 3rd Generation Tacoma it's in its own class of styling. It stands out apart from the Tundra, and you can easily recognize what it is. But the new Tacoma, it looks just a mini Tundra.

The Designer's of these new Tacoma's must have been avid KZbin watchers......many of these new design features had been modifications added to the current gen Tacoma over the last few years.... some examples; Rear tow hooks, Air compressor within the bed wall, Viper cut front bumper. Good they were listening.

[@WFO.]

So cool! But Ranger Raptor better?

[@HereForAStorm]

Awesome looking truck, but turbos and hybrids are going to be a nightmare to work on vs a good ole basic & reliable V6. I'll have to keep on trucking with my 4.0 while they sort the issues that will surely arise.

[@michaelfincham2749]

Trail Hunter looks really good BUT. No lockers, it's a hybrid, it's not on 35s, I'm going to have to wait for aftermarket off road equipment, and that wing in the back of the cab is going to put some distance between your Alu-Cab or your AT habitat. It sucks looking at a high-priced truck and looking at all the things you're going to have to change to make it work for you.

@@HereForAStorm resale value because it hasn’t changed in nearly 20 years. if there’s no new models or upgrades to depreciate the older models, why would you buy new. Measuring Reliability/dependability accross the 3 brands is like comparing a horse to a cow. They’re very different platforms, have different tech, and capabilities, and going back to my point earlier of using the same parts over a long period of time, sharing the parts with other vehicles under the same brand umbrella with little to zero innovation, so of course reliability will be on Toyotas side…but not by a large margin as media outlets like consumer reports like to tout

[@Sackmatters]

@@Rinker44 what you’re not realizing is that GM and ford are both trying to copy what the Tacoma is and has been for the last 40 years. Toyota simply will not be outmatched, out rivaled, or out warrantied. The aftermarket is so much larger for all of Toyotas mid size pickups comparatively. I own all of the stated brands and my Tacoma is always my go to unless I’m throwing a trailer behind me. I don’t like this new version but I’d still take it over the ford or GM and I’ve driven all three.
