The engine
i-FORCE MAX
2.4L Turbo I4 Hybrid
Toyota's i-FORCE MAX pairs a 2.4-liter turbo-four with an electric motor sandwiched in the transmission for V6-beating torque and rugged, low-end pulling power in trucks and 4x4s.
Toyota's modern hybrid answer for its off-roaders — the Tacoma, 4Runner and Land Cruiser — blending its bulletproof hybrid know-how with genuine trail toughness.
The electric motor lives inside the transmission, adding instant torque for crawling and towing.
It gives Toyota's trucks more torque than the V6s they replaced.
