The 2024 Toyota Tacoma has arrived, and the team at savagegeese got their hands on it for a thorough review. Now, I must say, this truck has been highly anticipated, and it's got people talking. Toyota has made some significant changes here, and it's time to see if they've hit the mark or missed it completely.

First things first, the new Tacoma is built on Toyota's Global Truck architecture, which means it's more maneuverable and focused on suspension articulation. They've gone with coil springs in the higher trims, and let me tell you, it dramatically improves the drivability and ride quality. The frame itself is more rigid than before, resulting in a quieter and more refined driving experience. And despite its increase in size, it's not much heavier than its predecessor.

Now, let's talk about the engine. Brace yourselves, folks, because the V6 is gone. Yes, you heard me right. Instead, Toyota has given us two four-cylinder options. There's a turbocharged hybrid power plant that promises tremendous fuel economy and over 400 foot-pounds of torque. And then there's the 2.4-liter turbocharged engine, which may not have as much torque as the V6, but it delivers power at a lower RPM. Both engines are paired with a more capable eight-speed transmission, resulting in smoother shifts.

Inside the Tacoma, you'll find a more comfortable and practical space. Toyota has addressed the storage issues that plagued previous models, with ample space for your phone, wallet, and other knickknacks. The interior layout is well thought out, with physical buttons and controls that are easy to use. And let's not forget about the technology. The larger screen and improved camera system are a welcome addition, making your driving experience more enjoyable.

On the road, the new Tacoma impresses. It feels more nimble and maneuverable than ever before, making it a joy to drive in tight spaces. The ride quality is decent, especially in the higher trim levels with better dampers. And off-road, this truck holds its own. It's stable and comfortable, even on rough terrain. The manual transmission option is a delight, offering an engaging driving experience.

Overall, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma is a significant improvement over its predecessor. Toyota has addressed many of the issues that plagued the previous model, delivering a more refined and capable truck. The only concerns lie in the reliability of the new engines and the subjective opinion on its exterior design. But hey, you can't please everyone, can you?
