Toyota says that with its 2024 Tacoma, "weekends will never be the same" - especially if you are "dareful out there" and strive to conquer everything with "trail-dominating power, legendary capability, and captivating style." It also offers a lot of customization options.
For example, you can start by selecting a color – Solar Octane, Bronze Oxide, Ice Cap (white), Underground, Celestial Silver Metallic, Black, Supersonic Red, Blue Crush Metallic, or Wind Chill Pearl. But that's not all, because there is also a trio of dual-tone options – Terra, Ice Cap, and Underground, all with a Black roof. Wait, wait, we are not even remotely done.

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma, all-new from the ground up, boasting the TNGA-F body-on-frame platform just like the Sequoia or Tundra, for example, starts from $31,500 with the SR5 grade. There are a lot of options here, too, like the XtraCab with a six-foot bed or the Double Cab with a five- or six-foot bed, as well as additional trim levels: SR5, TRD PreRunner, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited. Note, however, that currently, you only have access to the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four gasoline engine with up to 278 horsepower because the TRD Pro i-Force Max with the hybrid powertrain is not available yet.

Those who don't mind skimping on the 326-horsepower electrified mill can still go out like a workhorse in base configurations, like a stylish pickup truck with the Limited, or as an off-road expert when selecting the TRD Off-Road trim level. The latter, for example, gets you off-road stuff like a composite front skid plate, underbody protection, the optional 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor, Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, the optional Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism, an electronic locking differential, and a coil spring multi-link rear suspension, among others – and all starting from a base MSRP of $41,800.

After selecting the bed type, the manual or automatic transmission (note that the six-speed stick shift drops the power rating from 278 to 228 horsepower), and the exterior and interior colors, it's time to select from a multitude of packages – which range from $4,640 to $10,090 – as well as various options. Last but not least comes the accessories, and more than 100 options are available in the online configurator tool! Obviously, personalizing a 2024 Tacoma is intensive labor.

Or you could just get the Tacoma TRD Off-Road with a black interior and exterior and be done with it! This is precisely what happened with this dark and menacing example, save for one detail – the owner also decided to upgrade the factory wheels to a nice set of matching black six-lug Vossen HFX-1 aftermarket wheels. The 17-inchers were fitted by Miami, Florida-based Esteem Custom, a 'full auto shop' that knows a thing or two about tough pickup trucks since they're also the creators of various 6x6 beasts, from classic F-150s to Jeep Gladiators and Ram TRXs or GMC Sierras.
