It’s not yet time to see what the Toyota Tacoma 2024 will look like, but thankful for some countries that require design patents, the world can see what the 2024 Tacoma will look like.

The country that has made it possible for the world to see what 2024 Tacoma will look like in Brazil. While the upcoming Tacoma shares some of the design features of the Tundra, it’s not a Tundra, it’s a Tacoma you’re looking at.
Why Is The Tacoma Midsize Pickup Important To Toyota?
Toyota’s body-on-frame midsize pickup leads all other makes in its category. That includes the Ford Ranger and Chevy Colorado. The Tacoma is Toyota’s fastest-selling truck and has a record of twice the amount of Tundras the brand sells yearly. It also has a high sales record than what you’ll get with the Ford Rangers in 2022.
The new Tacoma has a slimmer proportion than the Tundra but picks up certain features, like the vents under the headlights. And the general shape of the grille is the same, but not dominant like it is on the Tundra. In fact, it shares an equal landscape with the lower grille, with the body colour breaking evenly, bisecting the two.
The Differences Between The Tacoma & The Tundra
The square-shaped wheel openings are also similar but much bolder on the Tacoma. The Tacoma carried over some features from the Tundra. Looking at it, you’ll think the Tacoma was given a Tundra facelift. But it’s not.
Features unique to the 2024 Tacoma are the lower vents in the front wheel. The body also tucks in more dramatically at the rockers than other pickups. And that design break takes an abrupt angle down as it transitions from the door into the front fender.
How Many Engine Options Will The 2024 Tacoma Have?
If the patent renderings released are accurate, the expectation is that it’ll have the engine choices of either a turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder or a V6 hybrid version. The 2.4 will be similar to the engine in the Lexus NX350, with an expected increase to just under 300 horsepower. It will also be hooked to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Will There Be An All-Electric Tacoma?
There’s no clear information from Toyota on whether or not it’ll be releasing an all-electric version of the Tacoma. However, the brand will be releasing a Tacoma hybrid version which will help fuel economy on the Tacoma.
