The 2024 Ford Ranger: Everything You Need to Know

This time, we’re getting the Raptor — and it should hit the streets early next year.

2024 ford ranger preproduction model shown available late summer 2023 actual production vehicle may varyFord

Technically speaking, Ford brought the “new” Ranger back to the U.S. back in 2019. But that truck wasn’t actually as new as it seemed; it really was the global Ranger Ford had been selling in other markets since 2011. We’re finally getting an all-new Ranger for 2024, though. And while it’s still a global truck, it’s tailored a bit more to American tastes and requirements.

Oh, and we’re getting a Raptor version this time too. Here’s what you need to know about the all-new 2024 Ford Ranger.

Ford is finally giving the Ranger a V6 engine

new 2024 ford ranger Ford

Customers didn’t like being stuck with a four-pot as the only engine option. Ford heard their complaints. The next Ranger basically offers the Bronco engine lineup.

The 2.3-liter inline-four EcoBoost from the last generation is the base model with 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Ford’s 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost, with 315 hp and 400 lb-ft, is available as an upgrade. Both pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Both 4×2 and 4×4 versions will be available.

The new Ranger has a wider track

The Ranger uses a modified version of the existing platform. It has a fully boxed frame. The wheelbase grew two inches longer and it has a two-inch wider track, which — like in the GMC Canyon — will provide ride improvements in addition to just looking cooler.

Ground clearance — up to 10.4 with the 4×4 model — is 1.5 inches higher. All Rangers — at least for now — have the larger SuperCrew cabin.

Ford is bringing a 2024 Ranger Raptor to America

2024 ford ranger Ford

Ford has offered a Ranger Raptor abroad. Now, it’s coming to America. It packs the same Ford Performance 3.0-liter V6 as the Bronco Raptor, with 405 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It also gets an electronic two-speed transfer case (other 4×4 Rangers have a shift-on-the-fly system).

Additional Ranger Raptor upgrades include a reinforced boxed frame, 2.5-inch Fox live valve shocks, a Watts link rear suspension, locking front and rear differentials, 33-inch BFGoodrich all-terrain tires and optional beadlock wheels.

How much can the 2024 Ford Ranger tow and haul?

new 2024 ford ranger Ford

Both 4×4 and 4×2 Rangers can tow up to 7,500 lbs. That’s slightly below the new GMC Canyon / Chevy Colorado and the Jeep Gladiator but more than the outgoing Toyota Tacoma. The Ranger Raptor can tow 5,510 lbs. The Ranger receives some Ford towing tech such as Pro Trailer Backup Assist, an integrated trailer brake controller and a 360-degree camera. The Ranger is rated for a max of 1,805 lbs of payload with the 4×2 and 1,711 lbs with the 4×4.

The Ranger also has ample gear storage

The Ranger is better equipped for hauling gear. The rear seat folds flat for a bigger interior storage area. There are also compartments underneath the seats. The wider track also means a wider bed that can accommodate items up to four feet long.

Ford gave the Ranger some tech updates

2024 ford ranger Ford

The new Ranger interior features either 8-inch or 12-inch digital instrument displays and 10.1-inch or 12-inch center console touchscreens. The Ranger now has an embedded 4G LTE modem for over-the-air software updates. A wireless charge pad is available. The 2024 Ranger also gets zone lighting and bed lighting features to help illuminate your campsite.

How much will the 2024 Ford Ranger cost?

2024 ford ranger preproduction model shown available late summer 2023 actual production vehicle may vary James Lipman

The Ford Ranger SuperCrew starts at $32,565 for the XL, $35,505 for the XLT and $43,525 for the Lariat. The Ranger Raptor begins at $55,365. Every Ford Ranger has an additional $1,595 destination and delivery charge. The Ranger Build and Price tool is now live.

When can I buy a 2024 Ford Ranger?

2024 ford ranger preproduction model shown available late summer 2023 actual production vehicle may vary Ford

Hopefully, very soon. Ford originally said that deliveries would start in late summer 2023 for the 2.3-liter Ranger and Ranger Raptor, and late fall 2023 for the 2.7-liter Ranger.

However, as of late November, Ford’s website currently says “Current anticipated availability early 2024” for the new Ranger. A press release issued by Ford on November 28th stated that orders for the Ranger Raptor would begin to be accepted “later this month” (so, presumably, November 29th–30th) and that it would be available on sale “in the first quarter of 2024.” With the all-new Toyota Tacoma finally on the roads, Ford could use this new Ranger as soon as it can get it.

The Best MagSafe Car Mounts for Your iPhone

A MagSafe-compatible car mount will magnetically hold your newer iPhone in place while you drive. Some will even charge your iPhone.

If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more

If you talk on your iPhone while you drive or use it for navigation, it’s a good idea to get a MagSafe-compatible car mount. It magnetically holds your iPhone in place while you drive so that you can keep two hands on the wheel. It’s easy, simple and safe.

Before getting a MagSafe-compatible car mount, however, you need to make sure that your iPhone supports it. Every iPhone model that has been introduced since October 2020 — which includes the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 lines — supports MagSafe; this allows the iPhone to magnetically stick to compatible holders, both for cars and other places. (The outlier is the iPhone SE, which is the only current iPhone that Apple sells that doesn’t support MagSafe.)

Below, we’ve rounded up the best MagSafe-compatible car mounts that can magnetically hold your iPhone in place while you drive.

How We Tested

We’ve been writing about and reviewing Apple’s iPhones, iPads and Mac lines for about a decade, as well as all the peripherals that work with those devices. We also work with major brands and talk to experts within the tech and audio industries. The below selections of MagSafe car mounts are a combination of products that we’ve had hands-on experience with as well as products that are made by brands that we trust.

The Best MagSafe Car Mounts for Your iPhone

Belkin BoostCharge Magnetic Wireless Car Charger

Pros

  • Will wirelessly charge your iPhone
  • Adjustable positioning
  • Can be purchased in charging or non-charging models

Cons

  • More affordable model doesn't support wireless charging
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? Yes (if you purchase the higher-end model)

This is one of our favorite MagSafe car mounts thanks to its slim design, relatively affordable price and integrated USB-C port so it can wirelessly charge your iPhone. The only caveat is you’ll have to use your own USB-C charging cable as it doesn’t come with one. (Note: this mount comes in two models, one that’s a mount and one that’s a charger; the latter is $20 more expensive.)

Nomad Charge Mount

Pros

  • Will wirelessly charge your iPhone
  • Adjustable positioning
  • Compact design doesn't take up much space on your dash

Cons

  • One of the more expensive options
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? Yes

Released in late 2023, Nomad’s first-ever MagSafe car mount has a very similar aesthetic as the company’s high-end MagSafe chargers. It’ simple yet elegant, with a compact design that’s made of polycarbonate and glass. It also comes with a 18-watt USB-C car adapter so you can fast charge your iPhone right out of the box. It’s a little bit on the expensive side, but we haven’t come across and better-looking MagSafe car mount. Full stop.

(Note: the Nomad Mount is essentially a more affordable version of the Charge Mount that can’t charge your iPhone.)

Mophie Wireless Charging Vent Mount with MagSafe

phone car mountApple

Best High-End MagSafe Car Mount

Mophie Wireless Charging Vent Mount with MagSafe

Pros

  • Will wirelessly charge your iPhone
  • Very adjustable positioning

Cons

  • One of the more expensive options
  • Takes up more space on your dash than other options
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? Yes

This is Mophie’s top-of-the-line MagSafe car mount — and it’s sold exclusively from Apple. It’s unique because it has a highly adjustable arm that you can rotate and maneuver and find the ideal viewing angle. It’s also capable of charging your iPhone and comes with all the necessary components, such as a USB-C cable and a USB-C 20-watt car adapter, to work right out of the box. Other than its steep price, the only real downside is that it takes up a decent amount of space on your dash.

Mophie Magnetic Vent Mount with MagSafe

Pros

  • Reasonably affordable
  • Very adjustable positioning

Cons

  • Takes up more space on your dash than other options
  • Will not wirelessly charge your iPhone

  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? No

This is a more affordable alternative to Mophie’s high-end Wireless Charging Vent Mount with MagSafe (above). It has the same highly adjustable design, but lacks the ability to wirelessly charge your iPhone while you drive. It’s also exclusively available at Apple.

Belkin BoostCharge Pro

Pros

  • Will wirelessly charge your iPhone
  • Adjustable positioning
  • Supports fast charging at 15 watts

Cons

  • Very expensive
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? Yes

The Belkin Boost Up Charge Pro is one of the few MagSafe car mounts capable of charging your iPhone (12 or later) at its fastest 15-watt speed over MagSafe. This fast charging capability is going to cost you, however. At nearly $100, the Belkin Boost Up Charge Pro costs almost twice as much as other car mounts for iPhone.

Belkin Magsafe Car Vent Mount Pro

Pros

  • Relatively affordable
  • Adjustable positioning

Cons

  • Will not charge your iPhone
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? No

This car mount is fully compatible with MagSafe — Apple even sells it. It attaches to a car vent and, thanks to its rotating ball joint, you can adjust the positioning of your iPhone. The downside is that it won’t wirelessly charge your iPhone.

Mophie Snap Vent Mount

Pros

  • Very affordable
  • Doesn't take up much room on dash

Cons

  • Will not charge your iPhone
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? No

The Snap Vent mount is not a wireless charger. It simply attaches to your car vent and magnetically holds your iPhone (12 or later) in place. It comes with a magnetic adhesive (called a Snap Adapter) that you can attach to the back of an older iPhone (that doesn’t have MagSafe) so that it will magnetically stick to the mount.

Mous MagSafe Compatible Suction Mount

Pros

  • Clever design
  • Adjustable positioning

Cons

  • Won't charge your iPhone
  • Not specifically designed for your car
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? No

Mous’s “suction mount” isn’t specifically designed for the car, but you can certainly use it there — it can easily be suctioned to your car’s windshield or dashboard. Its design also makes it really easy to un-suction it so you can mount it somewhere else. It doesn’t charge your iPhone.

Peak Design Car Mount

Pros

  • Unique design
  • Can be purchased in charging or non-charging models

Cons

  • Expensive (if you purchase charging model)
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? No

Peak Design’s magnetic car mount has a premium, durable design made out of anodized aluminum, and it grips onto your car’s dashboard. It can be ordered in either “non-charging” or “charging” sets, the latter of which costs $80 and ships with a charging cable and car adapter.

OtterBox Car Vent Mount for MagSafe

Pros

  • Relatively small size
  • Adjustable positioning

Cons

  • Will not charge your iPhone on its own
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? No

This MagSafe mount attaches to your car’s vents and magnetically holds your iPhone in place. It works with all MagSafe-compatible cases. Other than being a touch pricey and not being able to wirelessly charge your iPhone, the only other downside to this car mount is that it’s a little more rugged — i.e. not quite as adjustable — as other options.

OtterBox Car Dash & Windshield Mount for MagSafe

Pros

  • Unique and flexible design
  • Relatively affordable

Cons

  • Will not charge your iPhone on its own
  • Will take up a good chunk of space on your dash
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? No

OtterBox’s mount attaches to either your car’s dashboard or windshield via a suction base and then has an adjustable arm that allows you to get your ideal viewing angle. It works with all MagSafe-compatible cases.

Spiegel Wireless Car Charger

Pros

  • Takes up minimal space on your dash
  • Available in a couple different color finishes

Cons

  • Will not charge your iPhone on its own
  • Only attaches to dashboard
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? No

The simple car mount rests on your car’s dashboard and has a rotating ball joint to adjust the direction your iPhone faces. The big advantage is that it’s available in four different colors: space grey, black, red or gold.

Moment Car Vent Mount with MagSafe

Pros

  • Relatively affordable
  • Small and simple design

Cons

  • Will not charge your iPhone on its own
  • Will it wirelessly charge your iPhone? No

Moment’s magnetic car mount connects to your car’s air vents, and it works with or without Moment’s special iPhone cases (in case you’re not using Moment’s ecosystem of accessories). It does not charge your iPhone, so you’ll want to have a Lightning cable in your car.

Don’t Have an iPhone With MagSafe? Get an Adapter

snap adapter
If you have an older iPhone that doesn’t support MagSafe (or even an Android smartphone), you attach Mophie’s Snap Adapter to its back. This allows your phone to magnetically work with MagSafe accessories.
Tucker Bowe

Only the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 lines support MagSafe. If you have an older iPhone — or an iPhone SE — you can’t take advantage of MagSafe … but all is not lost.

You can buy adapters like Mophie’s Snap Adapter (pictured) or cases that allow your iPhone (or even Android smartphone) to be compatible with MagSafe accessories. They won’t unlock the wireless charging abilities of MagSafe, but they will allow your smartphone to magnetically attach to something like a MagSafe car mount.

What to Look for

tech roundupTucker Bowe

There are a lot of MagSafe car mounts available in 2023. And they can vary quite a bit. Before buying one, here’s what to look for.

Charging

Not every MagSafe car mount will charge your iPhone. In fact, most won’t. If you want a mount that will also charge your iPhone, you’re likely going to have to pay a little extra.

Type of mount

Most MagSafe car mounts will give you options as to how it gets placed in your car. Most will have attachments for your car’s air vents or CD player. Some will have suction cups to attach to your car’s windshield or dashboard.

Size

MagSafe car mounts come in all different shapes and sizes. Generally, most people prefer a smaller option as it takes up less space on their dashboard or windshield. A larger MagSafe car mount has more chance of getting in the way or your car’s navigation system.

Price

Depending on the three factors above — size, type and charging ability — that’s going to play a big role in the end price of the MagSafe car mount. If it’s able to charge your iPhone (rather than just hold), that’s going to cause the most significant price increase as it’s likely going to come with extra cables and adapters.

Your iPhone Case Matters. Here’s Why

magsafe car mount refresh
Pictured: The Mophie Wireless Charging Vent Mount with MagSafe holding an iPhone 13 mini.
Tucker Bowe

All MagSafe car mounts rely on the magnetic connection between it and your iPhone. The strength of this connection is the strongest when your iPhone is placed directly on the MagSafe car mount — no case. There are many MagSafe-compatible cases, however, that have their own integrated magnets and that allows them to snap securely onto a MagSafe car mount.

The problem is that there are a lot of iPhone cases that don’t support MagSafe, meaning they still rely on your iPhone’s magnets for a strong connection. This is fine if the case is thin, but if it’s a thick case, it’s going to weaken the magnetic connection and could prevent your iPhone from staying on your MagSafe car mount.

Bottom line: If you have a case on your iPhone, make sure it fully supports MagSafe.

Travel From the Trail to Town With Blundstone

Whether you’re hitting the trails, the streets — or both — there’s a Blundstone for you.

gift guide for do it all blundstone bootsGear Patrol Studios

The best kinds of boots truly do it all, from stomping around on trails to walking around town. These boots from Blundstone offer up the best of all worlds: they’re versatile enough to dress up or down, and as equally suited to walking around the woods on a soggy day as they are to a nice restaurant. For a do-it-all, durable boot that can take you wherever you need to go, look no further than Blundstone.

Slip on the #1306 dress boots in Rustic Brown leather with jeans or your favorite hiking pants. Their lean profile and chisel toe gives them extra character, and the longer the boot is worn, the more comfortable they will become as the boot softens (and molds to) your foot. As you walk, the boots can absorb 90 percent of the impact, making them even nicer to wear — no matter where your day takes you.

In supple, premium black leather these boots allow you to dress up — or dress down. With double stitching and a durable outsole, the #558s are built to last and ready for whatever adventures you take them on. With water-resistant leather, you can slip these on no matter what the weather is doing.

The #1609s improve upon the brand’s Original Chelsea boot by adding more comfort features such as leather-lining and additional shock absorption. The Antique Brown color is an iconic classic that can blend in — or stand out. This pair offers a more relaxed fit that will continue to get more comfortable as you wear them. Blundstone’s iconic pull tabs make getting in and out of these boots a breeze.

With a sleek, lean profile and chisel toe, these black-leather boots are capable of going anywhere. The water-resistant leather means they can stand up to the elements and the black elastic side gives them a streamlined look. The durable TPU outsole can stand up to any terrain you can find, and these boots will look great when you’re out to dinner.

Here, a walnut brown, water-resistant leather has been paired with a brown elastic side to create an iconic look. The result? A pair of boots casual enough to wear with jeans, but hardy enough to tag a summit before grabbing a drink with friends. Plus, the removable comfort footbed and the XRD® technology in the heel makes them easy to wear all day long.

Gifts to Elevate the 19th Hole Experience

The rum that every golfer in your life loves to celebrate with.

bottles of rumMount Gay Rum

No matter what type of golf-lover is on your list — from the casual player to the weekend warrior to the armchair expert — they’ve imagined unwinding at the 19th hole of a dreamy tropical course. The obvious drink of choice? Rum. If you can’t give them a beachy golf getaway, gift them the next best thing: a bottle of Mount Gay Rum. Whether they’re celebrating their own wins, or those of their favorite players, pick up these other thoughtful products to round out your holiday shopping and check the golf aficionado off your list.

Mount Gay is the oldest running rum distillery in the world, dating back to 1703, and Eclipse is the brand’s heritage blend. Perfect for drinking after playing a round with friends, it offers notes of fresh vanilla, almond, ripe banana and dark chocolate.

Try it mixed in a Fairway Fizz (in a tall glass, pour two oz Eclipse and four oz fresh pineapple juice over ice. Top up with two oz soda water or sparkling wine) or a Caddy’s Cup (in a tall glass, pour two oz Eclipse, one oz fresh lime juice and 0.75 oz bitter aperitivo over ice. Top up with soda water and three dashes of bitters).

Mount Gay XO is the perfect blend for sipping neat. This rum matures in three different casks — ex-American whiskey, bourbon and cognac casks to be specific — for five to 17 years. This process yields a spirit that has notes of baked fig, salted caramel, clove and dark chocolate. Pro tip: This is best enjoyed while watching golf with friends, and served neat, or over a coconut water ice cube.

The true rum lover on your list will appreciate the newest expression to come from Mount Gay Rum — Single Estate Series. Made only with sugar cane grown on the estate, it is the purest embodiment of the Mount Gay estate terroir. Plus, the bottle is primarily made of recycled glass and designed to remain fully recyclable. Enjoy the complex layers of flavor while sipping it neat, from pineapple to sea salt and leather to ripe yellow banana.

Why use a normal (read: boring) glass while celebrating life’s greatest moments? This rounded and dimpled golf ball-inspired glass is the perfect vessel for golf lovers to sip from. It’s reminiscent of a golf ball, but classy and elegant, with a heavy bottom for stability.

Today in Gear: Premium Picks for the Expert Shopper

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and news from Gear Patrol Studios

a table with a bottle and cocktailsSt-Rémy

Calling all Rivian fans: the company has announced plans to launch a new R1T leasing program. While its popularity has held strong, Rivian has managed to stay firm on its MSRPs, though last week it did announce its first incentivized program: those who purchased an R1T from the company’s existing inventory were able to receive a complimentary home charger and up to $2,000 in installation credits. Now, the company is offering leases on the R1T for the first time beginning next week.

Looking for a Better Sipper? Try St-Rémy Signature

Since 1886, collectors have always had a soft spot for St-Rémy — but now, St-Rémy Signature hopes to rejuvenate the brandy category altogether. The innovative brandy was created for a new generation of brown spirit-lovers, but is still 100 percent French, with grape sourcing, distillation, aging and bottling all done in France. It can be used to build the perfect French Old Fashioned, or to celebrate stellar moments of reconnection with just one sip.

Holiday Gear for Holiday Cheer

This Vintage Hiking Boots Ornament is only $18, and will bring a smile to every gearhead’s face. The hand-blown glass ornament is crafted and painted by Cody Foster & Co. in Valentine, Nebraska. If hiking isn’t their thing, the company has also released Old Fashioned, Bourbon Bottle, Pork Rinds and … Ted Lasso ornaments.

Now This Is a Serious Performance Parka

Nobis’s Alum Men’s Long Parka ($1,395) is as sleek as it is performance-minded. The wind- and waterproof coat boasts four exterior pockets for gear stashing and is filled with certified Canadian Origin Duck Down — even in the hood. It’s finished with fleece-lined hand warmer pockets, sealed seams and telescopic interior sleeve linings. It’s veritably arctic-ready, keeping you cozy in conditions down to -22 degrees Fahrenheit.

An Ice-Cold Snoopy Watch

The limited-edition Franck Muller Crazy Hours x BWD Arctic Snoopy watch boasts a Titanium Cintrée Curvex case, titanium case-back and lacquered white titanium crown. Its stamped guilloche dial is made with 25 layers of lacquer and topped with sapphire crystal. It’s powered by a 274-component, self-winding movement and 19 jewels — and it retails for roughly $36,323.

Meet The Barnes

The Barnes ($649 – $1,349) is a new premium knife release from The James Brand. It’s the company’s first integral design, machined out of a solid titanium billet (which means fewer parts and less maintenance). Fans can shop the blade in two steels — either Bohler M390 stainless steel or Damasteel Hakkapella DS95X, but the high-end and eye-catching Snow Carbon + Damasteel blade option is the obvious choice.

The innovative brandy was created for a new generation of brown spirits lovers, but is still 100 percent French with all grapes coming from vineyards and all distillation, aging and bottling done in France. It’s a versatile liquid that comes across as warm, subtle and smooth with coconut, almond and fresh fruit aromas that give way to notes of honey, nuts and butter on the palate.

2024 Toyota Tacoma Review: Dramatically Better in Every Way

Toyota’s aging midsize truck has been replaced at long last — and the new version is as good as we’d hoped.

orange tacoma on a dirt roadJonathan Harper

Taxes and death may be life’s only certainties, but America’s fervent Toyota Tacoma obsession sits just below that threshold. The midsize truck has never felt more dated — the current generation entered production in 2015. It faces tougher competition in its segment than it has before. Yet the Tacoma is more popular than it has ever been.

Toyota sold nearly 237, 323 Tacomas last year. In Toyota world, the Tacoma outsold the Corolla, the Highlander and the entire Lexus SUV lineup. Compared to its “rival” midsize trucks, the Tacoma moved more units than the Chevy Colorado, Jeep Gladiator and Ford Rangercombined.

Toyota could have punted to the EV era with the Tacoma, giving the existing truck a subtle exterior refresh and a larger touchscreen and otherwise letting it be. That more-or-less-the-same Taco would have kept right on selling. But as with the Tundra and Sequoia SUV, Toyota aimed higher with a comprehensive refresh.

For 2024, the Toyota Tacoma is moving to a new platform, known as TNGA-F. It’s swapping out its V6 engine for gas and hybrid four-cylinder options. It’s getting a modern eight-speed automatic transmission, and upgrading to a coil-sprung rear suspension. And because one apex predator TRD Pro off-road pickup wasn’t enough, Toyota is adding the Tacoma Trailhunter overlanding model. And, yes, there’s a slick new exterior and a gigantic 14-inch touchscreen.

Toyota brought me out to Malibu, California to drive the all-new 2024 Tacoma on- and off-road for a day. It was a preliminary tasting of the new truck; Toyota did not have any hybrid models for us to sample (so, no TRD Pro or Trailhunter, which are hybrid only). The trucks also had pre-production interiors with panels of shiny, ungrained plastic. But it was enough of a sample to know Toyota succeeded.

To learn more about our testing methodology and how we evaluate products, head here.

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma: What We Think

2024 toyota tacoma in beach parking lot Tyler Duffy

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is a giant leap forward. It has a better engine and transmission, and handles considerably better on and off the pavement thanks to its new platform and suspension. The interior is more modern and luxurious. It did just about everything you might have expected, except grow bigger and — at least in straight gas-engine form — become markedly more efficient. For the first time in a long while, the Tacoma is a thoroughly modern truck.

As with the previous generation, I think the TRD Off-Road model is still the sweet spot, offering compelling looks and enough capability without jacking up the price too far. That said, I would (and possibly will) wait for the hybrid engine, which should set a new benchmark for Tacoma performance (326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque) and efficiency.

The 2024 Tacoma handles way better on the road

2024 toyota tacoma side profile in parking lot Tyler Duffy

The press trip location can indicate how confident a manufacturer is in its new car. Toyota chose Malibu, home to supercars, steep grades and about the curviest mountain roads you can find. So, yeah — Toyota is pretty bullish on the new Tacoma. It wasn’t the optimal tool for that task — I’d have opted for an MX-5 Miata — but the truck held its own surprisingly well.

As with the new Tundra, the TNGA-F platform gives the Tacoma a more rigid frame and better body control than its predecessor. The new coil-sprung multilink suspension replaces the leaf springs (on double cab SR5 and above) and delivers a smoother, more refined ride.

The Tacoma’s steering is less onerous than before, and the brakes are more responsive. Cornering feels more perfunctory and less like an event. The ride felt far less bouncy over bumps. It’s night and day better than the old truck. I’d even call the 4×2 PreRunner chuckable — to the extent one could call a Tacoma that.

Don’t pour one out for the V6 engine — the four-pot is better

2024 toyota tacoma in a beach parking lot Tyler Duffy

I drove several 2024 Tacoma trim levels. Each was fitted with the 2.4-liter iForce gas engine — the de facto base engine, unless you’re getting a barebones SR trim. It packs 270 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque (52 lb-ft more than the outgoing model). And it’s potent, torque-y and pretty darn good.

I praised pretty much the same engine in the Grand Highlander for muscling me up a mountain without fuss. The powertrain did the same thing in the Tacoma, a truck that used to start whining if you even glimpsed a slight hill. There’s ample power in reserve for highway passing; the truck felt so unstrained I (quite often) found myself exceeding the posted 55-mph limit on the PCH without realizing it.

The only drawback to the new setup is that — at least with the non-hybrid version — it’s not that much more efficient. A 2024 Tacoma 4×4 earns 19 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, improvements of one mpg over the previous generation. The trucks being hooned around by car journalists and climbing mountains were seeing closer to 15 mpg.

The hybrid should pack significantly more pop and could deliver some game-changing efficiency numbers. That said, Toyota has not confirmed that yet.

Go for the automatic transmission this time around

2024 toyota tacoma manual transmission shifter Tyler Duffy

The six-speed automatic transmission was the outgoing Tacoma’s weakest point. It was slow to downshift, hunted for gears and seemed downright confused much of the time, especially on the highway. Hell, the older five-speed in the 4Runner is nicer … as is just about every transmission fitted to a new car in the past five years.

The Tacoma’s new eight-speed transmission is a dramatic and decisive upgrade. It operates in the background, and feels natural and effortless. There’s no lag in which it ponders whether to downshift, how many gears to downshift with and perhaps the existential meaning of downshifting. As Steve Jobs used to say, it just works.

And in a world where the Tacoma has a modern automatic transmission, there really isn’t much of a case for getting the six-speed manual. I took a 30-minute cruise in the TRD Sport with it. The stick isn’t bad, but it has a long throw, and is hard to modulate smoothly at low speeds. Plus, it makes off-roading more stressful. There doesn’t seem to be much point to the masochism.

The TRD Off-Road Tacoma should be tough enough for most

writer standing next to toyota tacoma perched on rocks Jonathan Harper

Toyota didn’t give us a Bronco-level off-road gauntlet for the new Tacoma; that may be coming for the TRD Pro and Trailhunter. But we did drive a reasonably tough mountain track — I was told the 4×2 trucks couldn’t make it up for pictures — with events showing off the truck’s rock-crawling capability, flex and articulation.

The TRD Off-Road Tacoma plowed through it without breaking a sweat. Crawl control and a series of off-road modes make it straightforward to operate, once you’re in the right mode. And a sway bar disconnect helps the truck handle more extreme movements more comfortably.

One option I would select — if you plan to take your Taco off-roading — is a terrain camera. My truck didn’t have one, and the Tacoma’s boxy front end popped up and left me blinded a lot of the time. I traversed the rock event without really seeing said rocks. That’s fine when you have a Toyota spotter in the passenger seat; it would be way more stressful without one.

The interior is an improvement, though it’s still a bit tight

toyota tacoma Jonathan Harper

I am reserving my full judgment on the Tacoma interior until I have a spin in a customer-spec vehicle. The Tacomas we drove were pre-production versions with a lot of bare, shiny plastic that won’t be there when the trucks go to owners. But it’s clear Toyota has made some sensible upgrades.

The materials feels nicer, and the driving position feels more natural. The design borrows heavily from the new Tundra, including an available 14.0-inch touchscreen (8.0-inch was an upgrade in the 2023 model). And you still get big, chunky and very convenient controls, as in all the best pickup trucks.

The one issue Toyota couldn’t really resolve is space. The Tacoma isn’t a full-size truck, and there just isn’t a ton of space in the back seat. I was able to sit behind myself at 5’11” — but there’s not much leg room horizontally. And I suspect there may be some issues with rear-facing car seats.

Yeah, that air dam isn’t a hot look

close up of toyota tacoma grille Tyler Duffy

One of the first things I noticed at the Tacoma’s launch event was the front air dam fitted to every truck that wasn’t a Trailhunter or a TRD Pro. It’s functional, helping to reduce the truck’s considerable drag by funneling air away from the front wheels. It also looks, from a distance, like your Tacoma grew a neckbeard.

I can offer two pieces of good news on that front. The Tacoma performed well enough on efficiency testing to remove the dam from the TRD Off-road, allowing you to do the off-road stuff unimpeded. And for trucks that do have the air dam, it’s removable with basic tools — you just unscrew nine bolts. I suspect a large percentage of owners will do that the day they bring the truck home and conveniently forget where they put it.

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma: Alternatives

2024 toyota tacoma in beach parking lot Tyler Duffy

There are several other midsize truck options on the market. GM just revamped the Chevy Colorado / GMC Canyon twins with a potent 2.7-liter turbo four-cylinder and a two-inch lift on most trucks (including every Canyon). Ford just unveiled the new Ranger lineup, which now includes a Ranger Raptor. There’s also the recently refreshed Jeep Gladiator.

In terms of fellow Japanese brands, Nissan offers the new Frontier … which borrows heavily from the old Frontier … which was ancient. Honda also sells a unibody midsize alternative, the Ridgeline.

Like the Ford F-150, the Tacoma can use its sales volume as an advantage over competitors. The Taco is a top priority on the development front. And it has enough buyers for Toyota to explore niches and offer thoughtful, differentiated trucks “for everyone” up and down the price range in a way that other manufacturers can’t.

I’d also argue that the Tacoma is less competing with other midsize trucks and more trying to pull Tacoma-curious customers who don’t need a truck from buying something more sensible and boring. This truck will certainly do that.
