Woot!
PLANO, Texas (May 2, 2023) – Legends are more than automatic; they always come in clutch. The all-new 2024 Toyota Tacoma, available with a six-speed manual transmission. Stay tuned for more and click here to check out the previous 2024 Toyota Tacoma teasers.
Can you car experts explain why Toyota/Lexus need so much of wheel gaps? Are their suspension that soft? Sure these are trucks and can be used for offloads but even their luxury SUVs like GX and LX they look humongous.
@LexsCTJill IDK about that. At first sight, I knew it was a production vehicle as someone who handles Design Release in my job. Too many surfaces were feasible for mass production and highly reflective of the comments made by Kevin Hunter, head of Toyota's US design studio, when the Tundra was revealed in September 2021. However, a lot of commenters were just skeptical Toyota was revealing it that early and some of them thinking it was due last year.
I had known that the final 2024 design had already been approved sometime in late 2020 and that it had been finalized into Design Release (no more styling changes) in the spring of 2021, exact dimensions to the production builds. I finally got confirmation when a source of mine working on the 2025 4Runner, shared privately that the BEV truck was the 2024 Tacoma in disguise, at 99% and just the grille and some very minor details were different. The black roof made me think TRD PRO, but the T emblem threw me off wondering if it was for Hilux?
Some people in December 2021, were insistent it was just a Hilux and nothing related to this vehicle. Had to tune it out as uninformed hearsay. I own a 2020 Tacoma TRD PRO myself and as someone who helps plan and design trucks for a living, it made too much sense to not be the real thing. Like you suggest, the BEV Tacoma is not even coming, not at least until 2028 from what I hear. They were more focused on a Tundra BEV and Prime, than Tacoma. Those are all backburned somewhat, to study other approaches to the new segments. GX in 2029 BEV might parallel a Tacoma BEV.
The BEV truck like the Crown BEV was fake, although the Tacoma was actually battery powered like a golf cart for slow speed maneuvers. The rest of those BEV concepts, had 0 function.
I think that Toyota marketing knew that the current truck was very old and have been very eager to get out the message, something new is coming. They courted the press with spy shots, showed a 2 year early reveal of the next generation vehicle, secure in the belief that they have no stiff competition likely to dethrone them.

I'm curious how close this new Taco is to the new HiLux. Outgoing Tacoma has far more of a US truck look than current HiLux (unsurprisingly), but it will be interesting to see if they get closer for the new gens (and if HiLux uses TNGA-F).
