KONA, Hawaii, May 19, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- The all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma made its world
premiere last night in Pauko, Hawaii, introducing the world to the fourth
generation of the best-selling mid-size pickup of the last 18
years. Toyota group vice president and general manager Dave Christ introduced the new truck alongside
Tacoma chief engineer Sheldon Brown
and CALTY president Kevin Hunter.
"With even more off-road capability and the quality, durability,
and reliability that our customers expect along with a host of
options for every owner, we're confident that Tacoma will remain
the top choice for mid-size pickup buyers when it arrives later
this year," says Toyota group vice president and general manager
Dave Christ.
The all-new Tacoma is built on Toyota's TNGA-F global truck
platform and features an available new multilink rear suspension.
Customers have the choice of two new powerful and efficient
four-cylinder powertrains and the i-FORCE MAX hybrid that produces
326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. Tacoma also introduces
the world to the all-new Trailhunter grade that is a
factory-developed overlander with integrated components from ARB,
Old Man Emu, and RIGID.
As part of Toyota's diverse approach to working toward a carbon
neutral future, Tacoma i-FORCE MAX is the latest hybrid offering in
Toyota's lineup to wear the Beyond Zero badge. Today, Toyota offers
15 electrified vehicles for customers to choose from. With eleven
hybrid models, two plug-in hybrid models, the bZ4X battery electric
vehicle, and the zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell Mirai, Toyota
provides more choices than any other automaker for customers to
reduce their carbon footprint.
