2024 Toyota Tacoma Engine Options

The all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma has had an exciting makeover that features bold stylings and upgraded capabilities. The mid-size pickup truck market is among the most competitive in the automotive industry. The new Tacoma looks to be the best option for anyone who wants great looks and class-leading utility. Among the numerous changes to the Tacoma, the old engines have been switched out with more powerful and fuel-efficient options, which are the best of both worlds.

 

What Are The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Engine Options?

To appreciate the upgrades of the current engines, let’s quickly look at the engines offered by the previous generation Tacoma. The third-generation Tacoma could be had in either a 2.7L inline-four-cylinder or a 3.5L V6. The four-cylinder was capable of producing 159 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque. The upgraded 3.5L V6, on the other hand, could deliver 278 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. For the new 2024 Toyota Tacoma, both these engines have been replaced with more modern variants, taking advantage of advances in Toyota’s engine development.

 

i-FORCE 2.4L Turbocharged Inline-4 Engine

The base 2024 Toyota Tacoma engine option is a 2.4L turbocharged inline-4. Depending on the trim and transmission equipped, the i-FORCE 2.4L will be tuned differently and produce varying amounts of power.

 

In the base SR trim level, this engine will produce 228 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque, far more powerful than the base four-cylinder engine found in the previous generation Tacoma. Upgrading from the SR trim level will also result in a bump in power to the 2.4L engine. In higher trim levels, the engine outputs 278 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque when paired with the smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. Opting for the manual transmission results in a minimal drop in power, down to 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, both more powerful than last generation’s V6 engine.

 

i-FORCE MAX 2.4L Turbocharged Inline-4 Hybrid Powertrain

Found on higher trim levels such as the TRD Pro, the i-FORCE MAX 2.4L turbocharged inline-4 hybrid is the most powerful engine offered on the 2024 Toyota Tacoma. 

 

In this configuration, the regular 2.4L I4 is paired with an electric motor and small battery to increase horsepower and torque significantly. The i-FORCE MAX system has also been found in cars such as the Toyota Crown and Lexus RX500h, which has helped Toyota improve upon its capabilities and better adapt it to the needs of any truck owner.

Overall, this powertrain can produce 326 hp and a mammoth 465 lb-ft of torque, a 75% improvement over the outgoing V6.

 

2024 Toyota Tacoma Fuel Economy

The new 2024 Toyota Tacoma engine options not only provide an increase in power but also an improvement in fuel economy thanks to the hybrid system. The i-FORCE MAX configuration can achieve an mpg figure of 23/24 in the city/highway. Compare this to the 17/21 mpg that the previous V6 engine could do, all while producing substantially more power, and the upgrade is quite clear.

 

Conclusion

As you can see, the Toyota Tacoma comes in two available engine options. Which one will you choose? The very best way to see the 2024 Toyota Tacoma engine options is to feel them yourself.
