Interior Comparison

For 2024, the Tacoma comes as an all-new generation variant. It’s available in two cab styles. Depending on your trim choice, you can choose the five-seat Double Cab or the two-seat XtraCab. The latter is a two-door cab, while the former offers a four-door configuration. In contrast, you can only get the Double Cab configuration - a five-seat and four-door model.

The Xtracab from Tacoma features neat floor storage, MOLLE side pockets, and lockable rear storage. There is also a flat-folding function in the front passenger seat. In the Double Cab, you'll find useful hidden storage compartments behind and under the seats. You won't find as many features in the 2024 Chevrolet Colorado.

Cargo bed options in the Tacoma include 5-foot or 6-foot cab lengths. Accessories such as a 2,400-watt AC power outlet, exterior scene lighting, and an onboard air compressor are available, but these are not standard features in the Chevy Colorado.

Power-adjustable driver seats, dual-zone climate control, and heated and ventilated front seats are standard features inside the 2024 Tacoma. The glove box and center console provide useful storage for small items. There is also a power moonroof available. If you're an off-road enthusiast, you'll love the TRD Pro trim with its IsoDynamic seats. During high-speed off-road driving, these are designed to cushion the impact on the occupants' bodies.

Both pickup trucks offer Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and Bluetooth® connectivity options. There's also a 10-speaker JBL audio system, which connects to an equally impressive 14-inch infotainment screen.

The higher trim levels also include a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Higher-end Colorado trims feature a seven-speaker Bose audio system and an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. Digital gauge clusters are also available.

Performance Comparison

There's a hybrid and non-hybrid version of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma. All non-hybrid models use a turbocharged 2.4L four-cylinder engine. This powertrain produces 278 horsepower in the higher trims and 277 horsepower in the lower trims. Transmission options are a six-speed manual and an eight-speed automatic. The i-FORCE MAX Hybrid powertrain adds an electric motor and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It delivers an impressive 326 HP output.

With the 2024 Tacoma, you can choose between four- and rear-wheel drive. For a more comfortable ride, the higher trims are equipped with coil springs, and the lower trims get a leaf spring—both are capable suspension systems.

Off-road enthusiasts can choose TRD trim levels. These offer optional off-roading features such as all-terrain tires, TRD-tuned suspension, underbody protection, and increased ride height. You can also get TrailHunter trim, with 33-inch tires and Old Man Emu suspension.

The 2024 Chevrolet Colorado is powered by a turbocharged 2.7-liter, 4-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s capable of 310 horsepower in higher trims and 227 horsepower in lower trims. Drivetrain options include a four-wheel drive system and a rear-wheel drive system. Off-road trims are also available for buyers who love exploring challenging terrains.
