The new Toyota Tacoma has a clever campsite feature

 Audio system includes removable Bluetooth speaker

The new Toyota Tacoma will let you bring the noise …. anywhere you want to.

Toyota has revealed that the all-new 2024 midsize pickup will feature an audio system that has a removable JBL Flex Bluetooth speaker.

An image shows that it sits in a port in the center of the dashboard while in use within the vehicle.

"Bring your tunes from the dash to the campsite," Toyota said in its latest teaser for the yet-to-be-unveiled Tacoma.

Along with the speaker, it has confirmed that the Tacoma will be available with an i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain.

Specifications have not been announced, but Toyota has several hybrids to choose from, including a 340 hp four-cylinder based version that is used in the Crown sedan and would make it the most powerful Tacoma ever.

As far as the styling is concerned, there is not an official photo yet, but renderings of the truck were inadvertently posted on a Brazilian patent website.

Toyota apparently acknowledged their authenticity with a humorous photo showing the current Tacoma parked in front of a building marked Brazilian Patent Office with the new model in the distance out of focus.
