2024 TOYOTA TACOMA TRAILHUNTER REVIEW: THE ONE YOU REALLY WANT

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter is presented as the ultimate overland-ready version of the new Tacoma, distinguishing itself with a powerful 325 horsepower hybrid 4-cylinder engine and extensive factory-installed off-road equipment. The reviewer highlights its partnership with ARB for suspension, rock rails, and bumpers, along with a standard snorkel and unique LED lighting. Interior features include premium materials, heated/ventilated seats, and a head-up display, while off-road tech like multi-terrain select and crawl control are present. Positives include the potent powertrain, robust off-road hardware, and Toyota's reputation. However, the ride quality is noted as rough on pavement, and fuel economy is disappointing at 12 MPG. The integrated air compressor, while a unique feature, consumes significant bed space. Despite these drawbacks, the Trailhunter is praised for its turn-key off-road capability and desirability, earning a DougScore of 55/100.
