2024 TOYOTA TACOMA TRD PRO - POV FIRST IMPRESSIONS OFF-ROAD

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro delivers an impressive off-road experience, significantly surpassing its predecessor. The new iForce Max hybrid powertrain, producing 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, is a powerhouse, proving effective even on challenging terrain and jumps. A standout feature is the IsoDynamic Performance Seats, which use a dampening system to significantly reduce driver fatigue and enhance comfort during aggressive driving, a feature praised as "game-changing." The TRD-tuned Fox shocks and 33-inch all-terrain tires contribute to excellent handling, particularly in high-speed desert running scenarios, striking a good balance between low and high-speed performance. While the reviewer noted the gloss black fenders are prone to scratching and expressed a desire for paddle shifters and the ability to lock the rear differential in 4WD High, the overall verdict is highly positive. The truck is deemed a very impressive performer, competitive with other mid-size performance trucks.
