Buying the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Requires Big Bucks
If you want to go hybrid then prepare your wallet. The Toyota Tacoma Hybrid is an attractive option with more power and improved fuel efficiency. However, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid price might shock you.
How much does the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid cost?
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid price starts at $47,795. This is for the Tacoma Sport TRD trim which costs $44,095 with the standard gas engine. So, it costs $3,700 to upgrade to the Hybrid engine.
The I-Force Max engine is available with the TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, and Limited trims. It comes standard with the TRD Pro and Trailhunter models.
Prices for these hybrid options include:
- Tacoma TRD Off-Road – $51,794
- Tacoma Limited – $60,995
- Tacoma TRD Pro – $64,395
- Tacoma Trailhunter – $65,395
It’s pretty shocking that the price for the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid causes the TRD Pro trim to cost more than the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison ($60,450) with its 35-inch tires and the Ford Ranger Raptor ($57,605) with its 405 hp.
With the standard 2024 Tacoma engine, you get a 2.4-liter four-cylinder option with 228 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque.
Upgrading to higher trim levels provides 278 hp and 317 lb-ft torque with the eight-speed automatic transmission. With the six-speed manual transmission, you get 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.
The i-Force Max powertrain pairs the same engine with a battery pack and an electric motor to generate 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque.
With the gas-powered engine, the 2024 Tacoma gets an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and up to 23 mpg on the highway.
Upgrading to the hybrid engine will get you roughly 22 mpg in the city and up to 24 mpg on the highway, so that’s not a massive difference.
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma hybrid price may not provide a lot of fuel savings, but the instant torque provided by the electric power is irresistible.
This truck has no power delay and smooth transmission shifts. It’s also much quieter than the gas-powered engine.
What you’re paying for is a better performance for daily driving and off-roading adventures. Some may wish that the hybrid option was more fuel-efficient and more affordable, though.
