If you’re ready to drive a pickup truck built for off-road driving, then it’s time to check out the 2024 Toyota Tacoma 4WD. This captivating truck is ideal for work and play with a thoughtful combination of performance features that ensure the truck handles beautifully on a variety of terrains.
The entry-level Tacoma 4WD is the SR model. This pickup truck comes with a 2.4-liter i-FORCE turbocharged engine that can produce 228 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. This reliable powertrain is paired with an eight-speed electronically controlled transmission with downhill/uphill shift logic. This shift logic feature is designed to help the truck maintain a specific gear at different elevations without shifting down gears. This model also has active traction control.
The best model for off-road adventuring is the TRD Off-Road trim, which is equipped with an electronically controlled locking rear differential that enhances the cornering and handling of the truck on tough terrain. This particular model also comes with features such as downhill assist to refine downhill driving, multi-terrain select to customize traction power, and crawl control to make climbing inclines easy.
Towing Capacity and Payload
The SR trim can tow up to 3,500 lbs, which is more than enough to haul a boat or camper behind your truck. The SR with a five-foot double cap has a maximum payload of 1,500 lbs, while the six-foot XtraCab model has a payload of 1,230 lbs, so the Tacoma can handle a significant truck bed haul.
The TRD Off-Road model can tow up to 6,300 lbs and has a maximum payload capacity of 1,610 lbs.
Exterior Features
The base SR trim comes with all-season tires that are perfect for drivers who spend equal time in the suburbs and on rough roads. Other models, such as the TRD Off-Road trim, come with all-terrain tires that are specially designed to provide optimal traction support on mud, gravel, and other difficult terrains. The SR comes with four fixed truck bed tie-down points so you can secure your cargo on the back of the truck. This model also has LED headlights and LED daytime running lights to ensure you have optimal road visibility, even when you take the truck off the road. Drivers can upgrade to an LED bed lighting system for more lighting convenience at night. Mudguards to protect your tires are also optional for this trim.
A truck like the Toyota Tacoma is a great option for off-road driving, particularly if you need a flexible vehicle that can serve you well in your daily life, recreational activities, and work demands.
