4th Gen Tacoma (2024+)

Full info at

 

Interesting the Pro is available without the tow package.

 

It's meant to be a desert runner. If you want an overlander you go with the Trailhunter to tow your camper.

 

Looks like 14” on the OR, Pro and trail hunter. Likely because of the multi terrain camera system.
“And with tons of available cameras installed on the new Tacoma, TRD Off-Road, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter drivers can view potential obstacles that are looming on the trail via the Multi-Terrain Monitor that can display crisply on the available 14-inch touchscreen”

 

Totally agree. Seems like the Pro is now a pro and not just an SR5 with options.

 

The Sport still has the skewp!

 

God I hope not. OR is the trim I'm after but a screen that big is just obnoxious unless it rolls up like one of these: https://www.lg.com/global/lg-signature/rollable-oled-tv-r

 

Highlights as I see it.

1. Pricing TBD (not today) and MPG TBD (not today)
2. Aluminum up high for weight reduction (ala F150) may be why roofs are black in some models?
3. Designed for RTT and racks (addressing bed cracking?)
4. Multi-Link rear suspension on TRD, leafs on cheapo trims SR/SR5/prerunner
5. Standard 4 wheel disc brakes (TW rejoices) w electric parking brake and brake hold (hills?)
6. i-FORCE MAX has larger brakes and 2400w inverter (nice!) non-max have 400w inverter (zzz)
7. electric power steering, fully boxed frame, 4" longer wheelbase
8. all new suspensions, wait for reviews on them?
9. Pro has fox bumps
10. Trailhunter has OME
11. Max Tow 6500 lb
12. Max Payload 1709 on OR (better but still not fantastic)
13. Aluminum tailgate, 7% more bed volume (zzzz)
14. AT is 8 spd
15. MT is 6 with auto rev matching and anti stall (wtf?) fairly decent specs for MT
16. MAX specs are 325 hp and 465 torque, not bad, AT 8spd only
17. front stabilizer bar w auto disconnect compatible with toyota lift kits (nice that option is available)
18. Trailhunter in bed with ARB (who gives a f?)
19. Pro is 3" wider than SR5 and has custom seat
20. Giant ipad screen in front (f u Toyota says TW)
21. Gone is the h key, everyone gets smart key and pushbutton start (TW rejoices except crusty old guys who like keys)
22. No changes to bed lengths, 5 or 6' only.
23. AC now becomes xtracab and the phoenix rises from the ashes
24. New PreRunner and Trailhunter trims as expected, all existing trims retained.
25. PreRunner gets locking diff
26. Sport gets 18's and has color matched dash panels which look gaudy AF
27. Safety s everyone expects and is not exciting for anyone on TW
28. Limited has chrome mirror backs, WTF Toyota, are you serious?

Overall, some good news some meh news. iForce-MAX is clearly the most interesting / exciting as expected. Meanwhile, for those of us not able to afford it, 4 wheel disc brakes and better overall payload/towing with more strength and aluminum for lighter weight is forward progress but likely not in excess of price increases. Overall, nothing terribly unexpected here, nice to have the hybrid.

 

XtraCab, available on SR, SR5, and TRD PreRunner grades

This configuration has no rear doors and no rear seat but makes the most of its cabin with all kinds of additional storage options.

 

That screen will be optional not standard

 

Some still have the Leafs

 

8 spd auto I see , not the 10 that I was hoping for . And still under 300hp for the non hybrid

 

This was hopefully only referencing the lower trims with leafs so tbd
“6,500 lbs. on SR5 i-FORCE and TRD PreRunner XtraCab grades”

 

SR5 TRDOR has leaf springs?

 

You expect higher max tow for pro w tow package?

 

“leaf springs remain standard on SR, SR5 XtraCab, and TRD PreRunner grades. ”

 

278 hp is plenty. Care way more about the torque. 317 is nice

 

I can't believe the i-force max is on the trd off road and sport models. Have to jump up to a limited on the tundra to get the max I'm pretty sure...

 

I hope… new bigger front brakes, new rear discs, new rear suspension, 600+lbs of extra payload, new chassis, more power = higher tow capacity

Personally I would want a 6ft bed for towing.

 

no mention of ventilated seats? Heated Steering wheel?
