The Highlander just recently dropped the V6 for the 2.4L Turbo motor. And the new Lexus RX ditched the V6 for that 2.4 turbo as well. Toyota seems to suck at tuning their turbo engines though... Its got less HP, more torque (and obviously peaks lower) but gets about the same MPG as the V6. IT seems to me Toyota's rugged trucks don't get a "regular" hybrid (which likely would have been the same one as in the Venza and Sienna, 2.5L hybrid if it were available on the Tacoma), they get the "performance" focused hybrid MAX powerplants which focuses on the power levels rather than the efficiency, probably makes sense on a truck application as perhaps the "regular" hybrids may not be powerful enough to do truck things. |

Leaked! All new 2024 Tacoma images
https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/threa...EF%B8%8F.1245/
Looks like a Tacoma gen 3.5 to me, and that's a good thing! |

I thought it'd look a bit more Tundraish based on those camo'd mules, but it doesnt stray too far off the current look, so its kind of in between Tundra and current Taco. I also wouldnt be surprised if alot of Toyota's upcoming cars...were actually showcased in that EV reveal... Some of them are turning out to be production cars in some form.... The Compact CUV EV = the BZ3x The red hatch EV = Toyota Crown Hatch the EV sedan = Toyota BZ3 (chinese market model) another compact CUV = looks like the next gen CH-R Truck concept EV = looking like the 2024 Tacoma EV cruiser concept = i wonder if Toyota is going to try to revive this as the return of a smaller FJ cruiser as an EV (EV Cruiser?) to get a little bit of a headstart on the FJ/Bronco/Wrangler market as an EV. Land Cruiser nameplate is supposedly returning but llkely not as the current 300 series model. Perhaps giving the EV cruiser the Land Cruiser name will print them money.
