Will the 2024 Tacoma be bigger?
The short answer is no: the 2024 Toyota Tacoma does not get physically bigger. Toyota largely preserves the truck’s footprint while introducing updates to power, handling, and technology.
As the 2024 model year arrives, enthusiasts and buyers are weighing whether the Tacoma's size—its overall length, wheelbase, and cargo bed—will expand. In practice, Toyota’s changes for 2024 focus on performance and interior improvements rather than extending the truck’s exterior dimensions.
What changed for 2024
To understand the scope of the 2024 refresh, here are the notable updates Toyota emphasizes—without implying a larger chassis.
- New turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine option that enhances power and responsiveness.
- Updated transmissions and drivetrain tuning to improve acceleration, towing feel, and efficiency.
- Interior refresh with a larger or more versatile infotainment setup and revised materials for a more modern cabin experience.
- Expanded standard and available driver-assistance and safety features to enhance everyday usability and off-road confidence.
Taken together, these updates lift performance and technology, but they do not translate into a bigger exterior size for the Tacoma in 2024.
Dimensions and footprint
Before examining the numbers, note that the official specifications show that the 2024 Tacoma maintains a footprint close to the 2023 model, with no dramatic changes to exterior size.
- Overall length: essentially unchanged from the prior model year.
- Wheelbase: remains consistent with the 2023 Tacoma across cab configurations.
- Bed options: continue to offer comparable bed lengths (commonly 5-foot and 6-foot options, depending on cab configuration).
- Cabin space: front and rear headroom and legroom stay on par with the previous generation’s dimensions.
So, for buyers whose primary priority is more cargo space or a larger shell, the 2024 Tacoma does not deliver a bigger truck. The value proposition lies in improved power, better driving dynamics, and enhanced tech.
Additional considerations for shoppers
Those weighing a purchase should consider how the updated powertrain and technology align with their needs. If you prioritize off-road capability, the 2024 updates may offer sharper throttle response and better overall feel in rugged terrain, while not sacrificing the familiar Toyota balance of durability and resale value. If maximum cargo volume is essential, the unchanged footprint means you’ll still choose between bed lengths and cab styles to fit your hauling goals, rather than a larger exterior.
Summary
In summary, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma does not get bigger. Toyota’s strategy for this model year centers on stronger powertrains, smarter tech, and refined interiors, while preserving the established size and shape that buyers know. For potential buyers, the decision hinges more on performance and features than on any gain in exterior space.
