Does my 2024 Tacoma TRD Off Road have a smart alternator?

[dougthescience]

I'm interested in putting a DC-DC charger in my truck camper so I can charge the house battery in the camper while driving. But, I know DC-DC chargers need to have an extra wire hooked to an ACC powered source if a smart alternator is installed in the vehicle. Anyone know if I've got a smart alternator on my 2024 tacoma?

Thank you!

Yes I believe all the Tacomas have a smart alternator.

Could you provide some proof of this?

I can't prove it, however i had to connect the acc wire in order to get my dc/dc charger to work properly.

Interesting. Yeah, that would indicate that it is a smart alternator.
