A quick guide to the 2024 Toyota Tacoma engine

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma has been revealed and the automotive world can’t get enough of it. Not only is it sporting a new look and new technology inside the cabin, but it’s also rocking all-new features when it comes to performance. Today we’re hinging on one of the major talking points: the 2024 Tacoma engine.

Which 2024 Tacoma engines are available to you?

When you shop for the newest generation of the Orlando Toyota Tacoma, you’ll have two engine options available to you. Here’s the breakdown:

A 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder. This 2024 Tacoma engine offers 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft torque on the SR model, and those numbers increase to 278 horsepower and 317 lb-ft torque on all other models.

• This is because the other models pair this particular engine with an 8-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission with intelligence.
• There’s more good news, too – you can still get a six-speed manual transmission with automatic rev matching and anti-stall technology. The manual transmission gets 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft torque.

An i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. This is the most powerful powertrain available on the Tacoma to date. It has a 2.4L engine with a 48-hp electric motor, as well as an 8-speed transmission. This combination results in a 2024 Tacoma engine that produces 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft torque.

• You’ll be able to get it on the TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, Limited, TRD Pro, and Trailhunter models.
• This 2024 Tacoma engine doubles the torque output of the 2023 Tacoma V6 engine and can ascend an 8% interstate grade without needing to downshift.

What is the 2024 Tacoma 0-60 mph time?

So, how long will it take the new 2024 Tacoma to get from 0 – 60 mph? We don’t have an answer for you on that quite yet (although we’d love to test it out). However, we can tell you from experience that the i-FORCE MAX engine under the hood will make it an impressive number. Remember, you’re going to have 465 lb-ft torque to work with. The more torque a car has, the faster it gets from 0-60.

We’ll give you an example – the 2023 Toyota Tundra has a 3.4L Twin-Turbo V6 engine under the hood. (It’s a different engine that what’ll be in the Tacoma but you get the idea). Despite the size and weight of the truck, this Tundra manages to get from 0-60 in just 5.7 seconds. We’re thinking similar (if not faster) figures will apply to the 2024 Tacoma 0-60 time.

What are the 2024 Tacoma MPG estimates?

No info on this one yet, either. (We know, we know.) However, we’re looking at it the same way that we looked at the new Toyota Tundra. The old V8 engine in the Tundra got dismal fuel efficiency, and introducing the i-FORCE MAX engine bumped it up to 20/24 mpg. Not insanely efficient like a Toyota Prius, but still an improvement.

The current V6 option in the Toyota Tacoma gets 18/22 mpg. We think that pushing a new i-FORCE MAX engine into the bay will bump up fuel efficiency further when it comes to 2024 Tacoma MPG estimates, giving you a nice blend of fuel economy and power.
