As shown above, the new '24 SR5 Tacoma is no longer supplied with a Group 27 battery. The smaller Group 24 battery shown is just one more of the lengthy list of downgrades you can expect with the gen 4 design. But if you look closely, you can see that it has the larger tray to accommodate a 27, yet at least the SR5 trim doesn't deserve a stronger power source. To me, it's almost an admission that the larger battery should be there, but the marketing department found yet another way to squeeze the end users. With a smaller spare, smaller battery, no 6-way driver's seat, smaller gas tank, and no engine cover or hood insulation, the list is becoming lengthy. (More engine pics to follow.)
ps. Also, no more Access Cab, maybe the most practical design ever.
