4th Generation Toyota Tacoma
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma has arrived, poised to dominate the mid-sized truck category. As a longstanding leader in this segment for nearly twenty years, it maintains its top position. This fourth Generation embodies the essence of “Rugged Sophistication,” boasting enhanced off-road capabilities and a plethora of options for customers to explore. With a Tacoma available to suit every taste and need, it’s clear that Toyota continues to raise the bar in the truck market.
New Turbocharged Engines for Tacoma SR
The Tacoma SR offers two turbocharged engine options:
2.4L Turbocharged Engine: This engine delivers a balance of power and efficiency, with 228 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 243 lb.-ft of torque. It comes paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and offers the choice between 2WD or Part-time 4WD, providing versatility for various driving conditions.
i-FORCE 2.4L Turbocharged Engine: This engine offers enhanced performance compared to the standard 2.4L Turbo engine, with 270 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 310 lb.-ft of torque. It features a 6-speed manual transmission and is available with Part-time 4WD, providing drivers with more control and capability on and off the road.
These two engine options allow drivers to choose the powertrain that best suits their driving needs. I’ve personally driven the i-FORCE motors paired with the manual transmission. It took me a minute to get used to it since I don’t drive manual transmissions daily. I can tell you that the 2.4L Turbo is a major improvement over the previous Generation’s 4-cylinder engine. This motor has some pep to it; when you hit the gas pedal, the truck really does move faster over the previous generation’s 4-cylinder and also its V6 counterpart. I know you’ll enjoy it as well.
Suspension and Handling
Equipped with a leaf spring rear suspension and twin tube shocks, the Tacoma offers a smooth and stable ride quality, even on rough terrain. Plus, with its TGNA-F platform, the Tacoma delivers enhanced stability and durability for a confident driving experience.
