The 2024 Toyota Tacoma's getting an overlanding-oriented Trailhunter Trim.
That Tundra-based show truck featured a Trailhunter-specific suspensions setup, skid plates, and a slew of accessories like a roof rack, bed rack, fridge, and roof tent. The idea, Toyota said, was to offer an upgrade-ready truck from the dealer alongside a slew of dealer-sold overlanding accessories. So instead of Tacoma buyers buying a TRD Pro and spending $10,000 on aftermarket gear elsewhere, Toyota's plan is to sell as much of it in-house as possible.
The teaser shows one of the partners that Toyota has on board: Australian off-road accessory giant ARB. The company is Australia's largest manufacturer and distributor of off-road parts, with a massive catalog that includes air lockers, fridges, roof racks, and bumpers. Its gear has a fantastic reputation in the overland community and, based on this teaser, it looks like Toyota will offer the Tacoma Trailhunter with an ARB rear bumper featuring an exposed recovery point.
To haul all of that gear, Toyota said a key focus of the Trailhunter line would be"load-bearing capability," in addition to off-road capability and on-trail protection. The company hasn't fully explained what that increased load-bearing capability will entail, but a key limiting factor on the current Tacoma is its relatively paltry payload capacity .
