Interior spied on 2024 Tacoma - first closeup looks

[lappos]

This example has a large center screen that's clearly running Toyota's newest infotainment system. It's blended into the instrument cluster cowl, but with a fair bit of space between it and the actual gauges. It's likely that a volume knob is lurking in that space, probably about where the hole in the camouflage is. What we can see of the instrument cluster is a bar gauge, perhaps for fuel or coolant temperature. It looks like it's a simple illuminated gauge, not an LCD screen. It's likely there is a larger screen next to it to display things like speed, fuel economy and other more detailed menus.

A center console-mounted shift lever sticks around, but this one is clearly straight from the Tundra. The steering wheel seems to have come from the same source, too.

Nice to see. I just wonder if this screen is the base or upgrade? Looks decent overall, I am hoping it is the base though.

I'm glad at least it seems like the center screen is landscape orientation instead of displayed vertically. Looks so much less awkward.

I agree, I am not a fan of vertical screens, however I do think the RAM is nicely integrated compared to most.

It's standard on the latest Ranger offered overseas (not sure if the US version does also) so I hope in that respect the base trim Tacoma is competitive with its competition.

Yeah the recent shots of the us Ranger has the vertical screen. I like that it doesn't stick out the top of the dash, but it seems to go so low in the stack. I don't see how you operate that while driving...

As far as saying I hope that screen is the base in this Tacoma.... I just meant it's a pretty nice size if it was a 'base' screen. I would be satisfied with it I think..... and maybe there is a slightly bigger one for higher trims

Agreed. Hopefully the cab is much improved over all. The current cab kills the truck for me and is one reason I have never considered buying one. I am really hopeful for this GEN.... hopefully I will be making a purchase. ;)

its looking like an iPhone mounted on a wireless charger maybe Infront of the shifter. It also looks like its getting the smaller screen from the crown and refreshed highlander instead of the larger one in tundra. I hope its full of plenty buttons and we don't have to dive through menus like your gonna have to in the next gen ranger

Really does look like a Tundra.

 

[Xtreme Thunder]

Doesn't look like all the exterior photos were posted in this thread, but looking at the source, the photos suggest to potentially still be missing driver side grab handle.

I notice to the right of the shifter the material is bulged upward. I really, really hope that's a manual 4wd shifter. At least in the top 4wd models. If Toyota is truly chasing the 4wd scene again, this would be a big step.

Hate to keep referring to the Tundra because I hope it's not just a smaller version of it but the Tundra comes in 8" or 14" screen sizes. I'm guessing that is what we can expect for the next Tacoma.

 

[Xtreme Thunder]

Isn't there also a 12.3in, or something in that range on midsize Highlander? A 14" screen in a narrower interior Tacoma would be gigantic and almost out of place. There is also a 10.5in sized screen available in other Toyota products.

To me it looks different than the Tundra screens, it looks larger than the 8" but smaller than the 14".... or at least it's in a different aspect ratio. I'm wondering if it's either a 10" screen, or a 12.3 version similar to the one in the Crown or the Highlander 12.3. I would actually prefer that to the 14" in the Tundra as I don't think that one looks very well integrated
