The Toyota Tacoma is once again setting new standards in the midsize truck arena with the introduction of the groundbreaking i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. This innovative system integrates a potent 2.4-liter engine with a 48-horsepower electric motor seamlessly incorporated into the 8-speed transmission. This combination delivers the most formidable powertrain ever offered in a Tacoma, marking a significant leap forward in performance and capability.
The 2024 Tacoma Hybrid powertrain, known as i-FORCE MAX, achieves a total system output of up to 326 horsepower and an impressive 465 lb.-ft. of torque. This represents a staggering 75% increase in torque compared to the previous generation’s V-6 engine, offering drivers a substantial boost in power for both on-road and off-road adventures. The enhanced torque figure is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring significant pulling power, such as towing and hauling, as well as providing superior responsiveness in various driving conditions.
This revolutionary hybrid system not only elevates the Tacoma’s power metrics but also positions the 2024 Tacoma Hybrid as a leader in its class for fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. By seamlessly blending electric power with a robust gasoline engine, Toyota has engineered a powertrain that maximizes performance while minimizing environmental impact. This makes the 2024 Tacoma Hybrid an ideal choice for drivers who demand both power and responsibility.
