The Seaside area is a radiant ocean-side city that’s suitable for those looking to expand their ventures into road trips along the coast or self-employment, and the 2024 Toyota Tacoma is the right investment for either path. Acquiring this award-winning midsize pickup truck will help you with any route you take, and our Toyota Salinas overview explains how.
Performance
Your 2024 Tacoma can unleash robust stats, but overall strength depends on the engine. Drivers who pursue the SR or SR5 trim levels will receive a standard i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. While the Limited and TRD Off-Road have this system, you’ll be able to choose the available i-FORCE MAX 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain, which generates up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. In addition to the Tacoma’s engine prowess, it has a 6,500-lb. maximum towing capacity¹ that’s great for carrying a 1,700-lb. concession trailer. With the available 4WD mechanism, you’ll be ready to take any challenge on Cabrillo Highway. Meanwhile, the standard 8-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission ensures you get enough power to your wheels as the truck is accelerating through the city.
Cargo Bed Features
Like its predecessors, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma can come with a standard 5-ft. truck bed or available 6-ft. alternative. These exterior segments are lined with reinforced aluminum material that resists rusting and gives you long-lasting use. You’ll also get to take advantage of the 1,709-lb. maximum payload capacity², which is commonly seen in the TRD Pro edition. Plus, shopping for the higher Tacoma trim levels will permit you to use available features like the 2,400-watt onboard AC inverter³, which is an electric power outlet that’s excellent for power tools or electric cooking equipment. Do you have your eyes on the Trailhunter? Drivers who pick this iteration can receive an available bed-mounted air compressor, a helpful trait that’s practical for yourself or others in need.
Safety Features
Whether you’re using the Toyota Tacoma for construction or serving food on Monterey State Beach, you’ll have a multitude of driver-assist features that will help detect driving errors and lower the risk of an accident. The standard Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection⁴ lets you know about vehicles and people in front of Tacoma and initiates the braking power autonomously if an incident is about to occur. While you’re making your way through congested traffic, the available Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control⁵ matches the acceleration of surrounding cars, making sure there’s enough distance between you and other motorists. If you’re getting close to the side of rumble strips on the interstate, the Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist⁶ notifies you of the error and helps get you centered on the path. When inclement weather obscures the lines on the street, the Lane Tracing Assist⁷ will engage the camera system and let you know where they are.
