The 2024 Tacoma was recently unveiled by Toyota, and it was followed by a collaboration with DC’s newest Super Hero in his debut movie, “Blue Beetle,” which premiered in theaters last week. The exciting movie is filled with action, heart, and humor, and it features multiple generations of Tacoma, as Jaime Reyes transforms into the hero The Blue Beetle after being changed by an ancient piece of alien technology called the Scarab.
Throughout the film, Jaime and his family rely on their favorite 3rd generation Toyota Tacoma, which is the pride and joy of Jaime’s Uncle Rudy, played by George Lopez. See how Blue Beetle, his family, and their trusty Tacoma are able to overcome any obstacle. Additionally, keep an eye out for a special cameo appearance by the All-New 4th generation Tacoma.
Toyota’s design and engineering teams worked with DC to create a unique 2024 Tacoma design and signature paint that are showcased in the film.
“We tasked our talented CALTY Studio team, led by Scott Roller, to conjure up a Tacoma that matched the singular style of the beloved, soon-to-be-iconic ‘Taco’ Uncle Rudy has made his own over the years, but in a way that was modern and integrated with the new 2024 Tacoma design,” said Tacoma Chief Engineer Sheldon Brown. “This is where the design of the ‘Blue Taco’ came from, and it was a pleasure to work on.”
Did you know that Toyota trucks have a rich history in Hollywood? Marty McFly drove the coveted 1985 Toyota SR5 Xtra Cab in the 1980s classic “Back to the Future,” while the first-generation Tundra was featured in “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.” In fact, 600 T3 Special Edition Tundras were sold that same year.
Now, the 2024 Tacoma is the latest iteration of this iconic off-road 4×4. It comes with a range of powertrain options, including the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain that delivers up to 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft. of torque. With a rugged style, 4×4 capability, and advanced safety and tech features, the all-new 2024 Tacoma is set to take the off-road experience to the next level.
And that’s not all – the 2024 Tacoma Trailhunter grade has been engineered from the ground up to be the ultimate overlanding machine. It’s the first of its kind, and it’s sure to impress. Look for the all-new 2024 Tacoma in dealerships by the end of the year.
