Considering that the V6 puts out 389 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, I think it would indeed be a great fit for the Tacoma, but we will likely get a detuned version.
2024 Toyota Tacoma Engine Options
Assuming the Tacoma's reveal date of April is the real deal, the biggest thing I'm looking to see is how many engine options Toyota will give it.
What I hope the most is that Toyota offers the 3.5L V6 that's in the new Tundra. Either the hybrid or non hybrid version. That engine would be ridiculously fun in a truck the size of the Tacoma.
But if that's not going to happen I think it's safe to say that it will at least have Toyota's tried and tested turbo 4 cylinder.
Given the choice what engine would you want in the Tacoma?
