It’s highly possible that the 2025 Toyota Tacoma would finally be released as the 2025 Toyota Tacoma model rather than the 2024 year model. The 2025 Toyota Tacoma delay is possibly happening because there are many things that happen that ‘forces’ the company to postpone their Tacoma production.

The Updated Plan
It’s quite unfortunate that Toyota needs to wait for the Tacoma’s production to finally happen, because it seems that there are significant challenges and obstacles that often come. The current Tacoma was scheduled to stop producing in 2023 (in August), which means that new model should be coming into production around December 2023. According to schedules, delivering should be happening in February 2024. However, delays have postponed the update to 4 months. It means that the current model should last longer than expected. It also means that production will start in 2024, instead of the late 2023.
The company hasn’t said anything about their plans (and their production schedule or details) concerning the new 4Runner or 2025 Toyota Tacoma. Some sources that the Tacoma will likely come first, followed by Tacoma later.
Reasons for the Delays
Why is the 2025 Toyota Tacoma faced with challenges and problems? The main reason is the limitation to the supply chain. The pandemics had caused factory closures here and there, leading to massive shortage of semiconductor chip. Semiconductor chip is not the only shortage happening to the line. There are also shortages of seating foams, hard top roof materials, and also rubbers (for the tires). Even the signature style of Ford with its blue oval badge is experiencing a shortage. It’s safe to say that the TNGA-F platform is surrounded by shortage issues, leading to many various different issues.
Because of the shortage, each of the vehicles from Toyota, especially the ones that experience redesign have to experience delay for around a year. Moreover, the new 2025 Toyota Tacoma had been ‘frozen’ for final production after getting the finalized design and style. It also means that the suspected Tacoma’s spy shots viewed earlier might not represent the 2025 Toyota Tacoma real production model.
The Model Outcome
Rumor has it that the new 2025 Toyota Tacoma may actually the chopped up version of Tundra and then put together within the TNGA-K platform for midsize truck. After all, this platform is perfect for smaller truck. But even with the new 2025 Toyota Tacoma design and construction, this new (and next gen) Tacoma has to go through the road’s crucial testing stage.
However, it’s not an entirely bleak future for the Tacoma. With the delay and everything, it’s possible that the final production can be extremely precious and good. Toyota believes that they only need to do some minor work for the trims and each model’s styling.
Powertrain and Performance
It’s highly likely that the new 2025 Toyota Tacoma would be coming with inline four Dynamic Force hybrid unit. It means that the four cylinder 2.7 liter unit (which is able to deliver 159 hp and 180 Nm of torque) will not be used anymore. The main engine may turn to the V6 unit with 3.6 liter capacity, generating 276 hp and 265 Nm of torque. We should keep in touch with the 2025 Toyota Tacoma update soon.
QnA
Q: Will Tacoma be redesigned in 2023 or 2024?
A: During the 2024 model year, we predict the Tacoma to transition into a new generation. The fact that it will use Toyota’s new TNGA-F design, a body-on-frame chassis that also supports the new Tundra and the upcoming Sequoia and 4Runner, is one of the few things we currently know for sure.
Q: Is Toyota coming out with a new Tacoma?
A: The Toyota Tacoma will have a new exterior design and a more luxurious interior in 2024. The design language we’ve seen on the Sequoia and the new-generation Tundra will have a significant influence on the outside of the Toyota Tacoma redesign.
