In the latest episode from MotorTrend Channel, they unveil the groundbreaking hybrid-powered Tacomas for 2024, boasting the mighty I4S Max Hybrid system that combines a 2.4L turbo engine with a 48hp electric motor. This beast churns out a whopping 326hp and 465 lb-ft of torque, making it the most potent powertrain ever seen in a Tacoma. The team takes the top-of-the-line TRD Pro and Trail Hunter grades for a spin, showcasing their off-road prowess with features like part-time 4WD and advanced off-road technology such as electronically unlocking front anti-roll bars.
The TRD Pro shines on the trails with its impressive speed capabilities, thanks to components like Fox racing shocks, hydraulic bump stops, and specialized off-road seats designed for maximum comfort and performance. On the other hand, the Trail Hunter grade caters to the overlanding enthusiasts, offering a rugged setup with features like old man emu forged monotube shocks and 33-inch Goodyear tires. While the TRD Pro is all about tearing through the desert at breakneck speeds, the Trail Hunter is tailored for those looking to venture deep into the wilderness at a more leisurely pace, perfect for camping and exploring remote locations.
Both models come equipped with the innovative hybrid powertrain, delivering instant torque for conquering challenging off-road obstacles and providing seamless acceleration on the freeway. The hybrid system enhances the overall performance without compromising the vehicles' off-road capabilities, offering a range of features like drive modes, lockers, and disconnecting sway bars to tackle diverse terrains with ease. Whether you're craving high-speed desert racing thrills or seeking a rugged companion for off-grid adventures, these hybrid Tacomas from Toyota offer the best of both worlds, blending power, efficiency, and off-road prowess in a single package.
