Dec 05 2024 9 mins  
Toyota’s stalwart mid-size truck entered a new generation with the 2024 model year. Entering its fourth generation, Toyota’s popular Tacoma didn’t carry along its V6 but did add a hybrid to its portfolio. While the 3.5-liter V6 was replaced with a series of turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder options, the manual transmission stuck with Taco’s order sheet. If you don’t wa
