Toyota dusts off the PreRunner moniker for this off-road-ready rear-drive Tacoma trim.
Toyota limits the PreRunner guise to the two-door Tacoma.
The PreRunner comes standard with equipment including a locking rear differential and 17-inch all-terrain tires. Toyota ditched the PreRunner moniker from the Tacoma line following the 2015 model year. For 2024, however, the automaker’s bringing the trim back to its latest-generation mid-size pickup truck.Originally introduced for 1998, the Tacoma PreRunner paired the four-wheel-drive Taco's looks with the rear-drive model's drivetrain.
The rear of the cab also includes a number of locking storage cubbies, and the front passenger seat’s back folds forward and creates a flat surface. Likewise, the TRD PreRunner retains the rear leaf springs of lesser extended cab trims .Befitting its status as a two-wheel-drive off-road machine, the Tacoma TRD PreRunner comes standard with the likes of a suspension lift, a locking rear differential, and 17-inch wheels wrapped in chunky BFGoodrich all-terrain tires.
Alas, the TRD PreRunner is an automatic-only affair. It's a real bummer for buyers looking to pair the PreRunner's looks with the Tacoma's available manual transmission.On the plus side, nonhybrid Tacomas—with the exception of the entry-level Tacoma SR—with the truck's eight-speed automatic gearbox feature a variant of Toyota’s turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque.
