Celebrate, former students of the old school! If you choose to go with the hp 270 and twist of bits, the power stick will make you jump, and you have the option for the automatic 8-speed — the SR filler fleet work-truck/filler SR will produce 243-pound feet of torque and 228 ponies, and its i-Force plant will displace 2.4 liters, which is the least powerful version of the engine, a four-cylinder inline turbocharged gas engine around the entire line of the Tacoma, which Toyota is basing on the GM and Ford competition. The new trucks will have the shared platform of the Sequoia and Tundra, with the ladder-frame TNGA-F truck as the bones. Joining the seven other variants, including Trailhunter, Pro TRD, Limited, Off-Road TRD, Sport TRD, PreRunner TRD, SR5, and SR base trims.

The growl of a sturdy 465 pound-feet and 326 horsepower overall performance is increased by the i-Force MAX hybrid powertrain, which customers can either purchase separately or choose the identical 278 horsepower engine if they decide to invest in the TRD Sport. The TRD PreRunner version will also be powered by the same engine and 8-speed automatic transmission, but the manual option is no longer available and the power increases to 278 horsepower and 317 units of torque when upgrading to the SR5.

From a 1.87 kWh battery, and Toyota states that the MAX electrification components consist of a 48-horsepower electric motor, which is particularly noteworthy for its addition of 84 more torques.

Additionally, there is the possibility of utilizing crawling controls. The PreRunner and higher trims also come equipped with an electronically locking rear differential. The Limited trim offers a locking center differential, but this is only available with the hybrid powertrain option. A standard limited slip differential is included, with the option to add an e-locker. Power is distributed to all four wheels, and drivers have the ability to switch between 4×2, 4×4 hi/low with A-TRAC, and a full-time 4WD mode.

Toyota is introducing IsoDynamic Performance Seats, which have their own adjustable suspension system with an air-over-oil shock absorber, to keep the neck and head aligned and stabilize the spine when driving in the dunes. These seats also dampen body movement and allow for simultaneous lateral and vertical seat movement, ensuring a comfortable ride in the desert-racing inspired TRD-Pro trims, which come with a range of special features.

The top-spec Trailhunter trim includes a long list of goodies, including LED signature headlights and a disconnect bar stabilizer. The front plates are made of steel and the suite features rock rails. The high-mount air intake is equipped with LED auxiliary lighting in yellow and white hues. The 18-inch bronze alloy wheels are paired with Goodyear tires measuring 33 inches. The shocks are position-sensitive Emu Man Old with a 2.5-inch lift. The truck bed is equipped with an integrated air compressor. The bumpers resemble ARB steel and there are aftermarket built-to-spec bits.
