4 Off-Road Capabilities of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma

If you’re looking for a truck with a refined ride quality and a talent for tackling tough terrain, then the 2024 Toyota Tacoma is exactly what you’re looking for. The Tacoma has a wide range of trims available, but three were designed specifically with off-roading in mind.

1. Providing Plenty of Traction

While you’re out on the trail, you need plenty of traction to keep you safe. All versions of the Tacoma are designed to limit slipping and boost traction, but the off-road models focus on this the most.

The three models focused on off-roading, which are the TRD Pro, TRD Off-Road, and the Trailhunter, have an electronically controlled locking rear differential. This ensures both back wheels move at the same speed as each other to help you get over obstacles and have lots of grip on the ground. With this, you’ll have more grip in low-traction conditions than you would in a vehicle without this feature.

2. Tackling All Terrains

The tires affect how well the Tacoma can handle the trails. The off-road models have all-terrain tires, so the truck is set up for driving on difficult surfaces. Along with that, Multi-Terrain Select is standard on the off-roading focused trims. Multi-Terrain Select works alongside Downhill Assist Control and Crawl Control to provide the most traction and stability possible.

You select what kind of terrain you’re driving on, and that lets your vehicle know to adjust the traction control and throttle accordingly.

3. Staying Safe From Getting Stuck

If you get stuck in mud or deep sand, then it’s not the end of the world. There are recovery hooks mounted to your truck so you can very easily be pulled to safety. Because your truck has designated recovery hooks, the vehicle shouldn’t sustain any damage while being rescued. There are multiple recovery points around the vehicle, so it can be accessed from different angles based on the situation.

4. Hauling Hefty Loads

You can also pull your friends to safety if needed, as your Tacoma can handle towing heavy loads. Two of the off-road models can tow 6,000 pounds, and the TRD Off-Road can handle up to 6,300 pounds. That’s perfect if you want to take a pop-up camper on your adventures or pull a friend out of trouble. The other trims can also tow a decent amount of weight. For example, the base trim can handle 3,500 pounds.
