Drivers of all stripes will find the new Toyota Tacoma MPG ratings to be quite competitive. This truck boasts the muscle you need to handle tough jobs and the efficiency required to save you from spending a fortune at the gas pumps. The team here at Toyota Marin has put together this page to help you learn more about the Toyota Tacoma gas mileage ratings. We break them down by trim and model year below.
The 2024 Toyota Tacoma delivers incredible efficiency because it has a turbocharged engine that provides substantial power without burning through excessive amounts of fuel. The truck’s i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder produces 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. As we shall see below in our Toyota Tacoma MPG by year and by trim charts, the 2024 Tacoma also gets excellent gas mileage numbers.

As you can see from the chart above, the Toyota Tacoma miles per gallon estimates have been impressive for many years, but the introduction of the new i-FORCE turbocharged engine for the 2024 model has led to a marked increase in the truck’s efficiency. This is not to say that used versions of the truck do not offer drivers the ability to save on gas when compared to their competition.
The numbers listed in this chart are the maximum ratings for the year in question. Every iteration of the Tacoma has numerous EPA estimates because there are so many truck configurations available. Whether you want a model with lots of passenger space or one that prioritizes the bed area, there’s an option out there to suit your needs.

Every new Toyota Tacoma scores excellent gas mileage ratings. While the standard engine for the 2024 Tacoma is the 2.4-liter setup described above, there is another option in the works. The i-FORCE MAX 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid four-cylinder powertrain adds sophisticated battery-and-motor technology to the already-impressive gas-only i-FORCE engine. This powertrain has not yet been tested by the EPA, so we are including estimates from the manufacturer to give you an idea of what to expect.
You’ll have several choices to make when you pick out a new Toyota Tacoma for sale. Several trims are available with two- or four-wheel drive, for example. You can also choose between different bed sizes when you select certain Tacoma models. This capacity for in-depth customization allows you to purchase a truck that meets your requirements whether you’re on the hunt for a construction site powerhouse or a rugged daily driver.
There are several things you can do to improve your Toyota Tacoma gas mileage as you drive. Some of these involve keeping your truck in tip-top shape, while others are behaviors you can adopt on the roads and highways in our region.
Driving with tires that are not properly inflated can reduce your gas mileage. Be sure to regularly check that your tires are at the correct pressure.
Running the A/C can have a negative effect on your Toyota Tacoma MPG performance. If you’re cruising down a back country road, consider opening the window instead of running the climate system.
The peak efficiency speed for many automobiles is around 65 miles per hour. If you drive faster than this, you’ll typically burn more gasoline in exchange for the extra speed. Please contact us to learn more.
If you’re taking a break from work for a while, you’ll want to remove those tools that you don’t need for your vacation from the truck bed. Traveling with more weight generally reduces your gas mileage.
Speaking of extra weight, it’s worth noting that the new Toyota Tacoma boasts impressive towing abilities. This durable vehicle can tow up to 6,500 pounds when properly equipped. You can use a Tacoma to haul a load of construction materials to the worksite, bring a boat out for a weekend of fun on the water, or take a pair of dirt bikes to the back trails.
When you tow, you will reduce your Toyota Tacoma gas mileage. This makes sense – you’re adding extra weight that is not accounted for in EPA testing. The Tacoma offers you the ability to drive efficiently and haul ATVs, trailers, and more. You can learn more about the Toyota Tacoma towing capacity elsewhere on our website.
