Is the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Limited i-FORCE MAX the BEST midsize truck ever built?

The Tacoma is a truck icon from Toyota and 2024 it was redesigned. On the outside of the limited trim you will find a silver grill, 18in chrome wheels, automatic running boards and power tailgate. On the inside you will be greeted by a full soft-tex interior, sunroof and digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 paired with a hybrid system, and is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Limited i-FORCE MAX the BEST midsize truck ever built?

Sorry Joe, they are a sales catastrophe. I believe that the turbos and cheap Mexican labor will be the downfall of Toyota Tacoma. I guess no one wants to buy a $33,000 vehicle for 65,000 how crazy is that?

They'll recall those in another year or two, and maybe by 2026 it'll be a decent extremely overpriced truck.

Sorry, Toyota really fouled up with this one. Tacoma, for thar price ...no ! Good to see they are finally embracing the Hybrid power train BUT ... Toyota engineers screwed up BIG time. With only ONE more MPG in the Hybrid, what the heck were they thinking? HYBRID is for better Fuel Economy not Power output! The tacoma hybrid should get over 30 MPG Easily combined driving. Similar sized SUVs can get 36 MPG with smaller turbo hybrid engine set ups. And those SUVs have beast modes (sport) that has all the power and acceleration you need . So they totally set this system up wrong, so it has no real advantage. Plus they are still using NMh battery instead of lithium, and stick the huge battery under the rear seat, using up all the interior cab storage. That battery needs to be UNDER the truck between the frame rails out of the way . That and get the price back into the 40k range, or you can keep this thing Toyota!
