The 2024 Toyota Tacoma Will Get a Trailhunter Trim of Its Own-July 2024

Front headlight of 2024 Tacoma Trailhunter

The fourth-generation Toyota Tacoma has been a , which is a long time. Mercifully, all will be revealed soon. Last week we learned that a TRD Pro version of the midsize truck will be , much like the and . And today, Toyota has pulled the cover off a new trim level for the long-awaited pickup. It’s called “Trailhunter.”

With this, we get a good look at the Taco’s new headlights. However, it’s what’s chilling out back that will likely be more exciting to the overlanding crowd that Toyota is courting with this package:

Developed from the ground up for those seeking extended adventures, Tacoma Trailhunter will build upon Toyota’s legendary off-road and overlanding credibility with purpose-built engineering and robust components.

The Trailhunter name has been used before — on a concept Tundra fitted with plenty of lights, roof racks and a tent built for SEMA last fall. Frankly buyers today are with respect to purpose-built off-roaders from the factory, so this Tacoma is hardly the only game in town. However Toyota certainly deserves some chops for making the badge actually mean something, unlike , and that’s covered in all the stickers.

The 2022 Tundra Trailhunter concept

While the TRD Pro line serves the performance off-roading crowd, the Trailhunters will be built for expeditions off-the-grid. That’s what we can glean from , anyway. We’ll know for sure when Toyota stops beating around the brush guard and launches the 2024 Tacoma in the coming weeks.
