Today, we explore the 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 with details, specs, and the SR5 Upgrade Package. As I’ve stated before in this 2024 Tacoma series, I had my doubts about the new design. However, as additional images surfaced, I warmed up to this new body style. As always, my goal is to make this post fast, informative, and easy to digest.
i-FORCE 2.4L Turbocharged Engine: This upgraded engine boasts superior performance compared to the standard 2.4L Turbo engine, delivering 278 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 317 lb.-ft of torque. It comes equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It offers the option of Part-time 4WD, giving drivers enhanced control and capability across various terrains.
As mentioned before, I’ve had the chance to drive the i-FORCE engines. I can confidently say that the 2.4L Turbo is a significant upgrade over the previous Generation’s 4-cylinder engine. This engine packs quite a punch; when you step on the gas, you’ll feel the truck accelerate noticeably faster compared to both the previous Generation’s 4-cylinder and its V6 counterpart.
Underneath, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 with the Double Cab configuration rides on a Coil spring multi-link rear suspension with twin-tube shocks, providing a balance of comfort and stability. The XtraCab model uses leaf spring rear suspension with twin-tube shocks.
Additionally, the platform is built on the TNGA-F architecture, enhancing overall performance and durability.
In terms of capabilities, the Tacoma SR5 boasts a wide payload range:
From what I’ve seen published by Toyota, the towing capacity is equally impressive, ranging from 6,400 lbs. on the Double Cabs to 6,500 lbs. on the XtraCabs. This will definitely be a plus for those interested in towing something significant.
The Tacoma SR5 features disc brakes measuring 12.6 inches in the front and 12.2 inches in the rear, providing reliable stopping power when needed. Plus, you can confidently conquer rough terrain with up to 10.8 inches of ground clearance on Double Cabs and up to 11 inches on Xtra Cabs.
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma SR5 comes equipped with advanced Off-Road Tech to enhance your driving experience:
Toyota Auto Limited Slip Differential (Auto LSD): Automatically adjusting power distribution to the wheels with the most traction minimizes wheel spin and improves overall control, helping you navigate challenging conditions confidently. Stack another win for the SR5 Tacoma.
The Tacoma SR5 now becomes a more premium vehicle, considering you now get the 17-inch styled alloy wheels with 245/70R17 series tires instead of the steel wheels on the SR package.
An 18.2-gallon gas tank comes standard on the Toyota Tacoma SR5. This truck ranges from 26 miles per gallon (mpg) on the highway to 19 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city.
The Toyota Tacoma is equipped with a 7-inch gauge cluster and an 8-inch touchscreen Toyota Audio Multimedia Radio, providing drivers with intuitive and accessible features:
7-inch Gauge Cluster: This digital display presents essential vehicle information such as speed, fuel level, engine RPM, and other pertinent details. With clear and easy-to-read graphics, the gauge cluster allows drivers to stay informed about their vehicle’s status at a glance, enhancing safety and convenience while on the road.
8-inch Touchscreen Toyota Audio Multimedia Radio: Tacoma’s infotainment system boasts an 8-inch touchscreen display, offering a user-friendly interface for accessing a variety of entertainment, communication, and navigation features. With Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and smartphone integration capabilities, drivers can easily stream music, make hands-free calls, and easily navigate to their destination. The responsive touchscreen interface ensures smooth operation, while the large display size enhances visibility and usability, even while driving. All Toyota Tacomas come with a backup camera, Wireless Apple CarPlay, and Wireless Android Auto.
Overall, the combination of the 7-inch gauge cluster and the 8-inch touchscreen Toyota Audio Multimedia Radio enhances the driving experience in the Toyota Tacoma, providing drivers with essential information and entertainment features at their fingertips.
Enhance your 2024 Toyota Tacoma with the SR5 Upgrade Package, featuring premium options for added convenience and comfort. This package includes a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knob, JBL® Premium Audio with a JBL FLEX® portable speaker, and a HomeLink® universal transceiver. Enjoy the benefits of Qi-compatible wireless charging, automatic climate control, and Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking (PA w/ AB). Additional features include:
