2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, Trailhunter and Other Trims Explained

There are eight to pick through, so we decided to dig into each of them here

2024 Toyota Tacoma group
  • The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is finally here!
  • There are a number of trims to pick from, from SR all the way to Trailhunter.
  • We detail what every single trim has to offer.

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is finally upon us, and Toyota clearly went no-holds-barred when it comes to its all-new midsize pickup. There is a ton to dissect, too, and if you want all the details check out our full First Look here. However, with eight different trims to parse through, we thought it would be easier if we detailed every single one of them here. Having options when it comes to a truck is important, but having to dig through trim level after trim level to find the one that's right for can be a burden — thankfully, our list should make figuring out the new Tacoma just a little bit easier.

The list below will note the trim and what body styles you can get that trim in — it's worth noting that when you pick the Double Cab (aka crew cab), you'll also have the option for either a 5- or 6-foot-long bed. We'll also be talking powertrains. The main thing to know is that the new 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine has three states of tune (and one of those comes with a hybrid electric motor for extra grunt). The base version of this engine only comes on the first trim, the SR, and makes 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque and goes through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

You can upgrade to the more powerful version with 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque if you go for the six-speed manual (278 hp and 317 lb-ft if you opt for the upgraded engine and that same eight-speed auto). The more powerful version of the non-hybridized powertrain is either an option or the standard engine on most of the new Tacoma's trims. The i-Force Max is the hybridized version of the 2.4-liter turbo and makes 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.

SR, the base Tacoma (XtraCab, Double Cab)

The SR is the baby of the Tacoma range, as it is with the Tundra and 4Runner. It will be available with the aforementioned base engine, but the upgraded version is available as well (as is the six-speed manual).

You also get these goodies included:

• Twin-tube shocks

SR5, one step up (XtraCab, Double Cab)

The SR5 is the next step up on the Tacoma ladder. It is only available with the upgraded 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and the eight-speed automatic.

TRD PreRunner, the return of PreRunner (XtraCab only)

The PreRunner is back for the first time since 2015, and that will be great news for the Tacoma faithful. It also only comes with the upgraded 2.4-liter engine and, sadly, no manual option.

Edmunds says

The new Tacoma looks set to retake its top spot as the midsize truck best-seller. The hardest thing for buyers will simply be which one they pick, and they clearly have plenty of options.
