Inside, the X-Runner retains its Tacoma feel while blending seamlessly into its reimagined, performance aesthetic by featuring paddle shifters, and custom X-Runner accents. "There is a Tacoma for everyone, with eight grades in the 2024 Tacoma lineup," said Mike Tripp, group vice president, Toyota Marketing. The Toyota Tacoma X-Runner is a specialty trim produced between 2005 and 2014, engineered for on-road performance.

But just what separates the model apart from a run-of-the-mill Tacoma? The X-Runner Tacoma, originally named for its chassis-stiffening X-brace, includes several factory-tuned modifications that gear the trim toward on-road performance rather than the model's characteristic off. Toyota brought back the X-Runner name from the past and applied it to a 2024 Tacoma sport-truck concept with a lowered suspension and extra power, among other modifications. Here at SEMA, Toyota has shown that someone on its team is dreaming that same dream: the Japanese automaker has revived its mid-2000s performance pickup, the Tacoma X-Runner, as a concept vehicle.

It features custom parts and design elements, including bold blue paintwork and a matte black hood. It boasts a modified twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter V6 engine with 421 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque.

It also includes performance upgrades like custom shocks, wider track, and. While no automaker currently offers a street-oriented performance model, Toyota on Tuesday revived a piece of that sport truck history by way of the new Tacoma X.

This modified Toyota Tacoma X-Runner Concept is a testament to innovation, combining the heritage of street trucks with modern engineering and design. It beckons enthusiasts to reimagine the possibilities of a high-performance, street. During the 2023 SEMA Show, Toyota revived the X-Runner name from back in the day and attached it to the 2024 Tacoma sport-truck concept.

The Tacoma X-Runner concept truck will have a bigger version of the Tundra's twin. The X-Runner concept's interior features red seats, paddle shifters, and custom X-Runner accents, but that's it. We don't think Toyota has any plans to bring a production version of the Tacoma X.
