AirVenture 2025 Cool Planes: Kitfox On Floats

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • The 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro introduces a significantly more modern platform, a powerful i-FORCE MAX hybrid engine, and advanced off-road features like front and rear lockers, contrasting with the 4Runner TRD Pro's older V6 engine and dated technology.
  • While both are highly capable off-road, the new Tacoma TRD Pro offers enhanced comfort through features like IsoDynamic seats and a more refined on-road ride thanks to its updated TNGA-F platform.
  • The core difference lies in their utility: the 4Runner TRD Pro provides an enclosed SUV cargo space, whereas the Tacoma TRD Pro offers the versatility of an open pickup truck bed.
