2001 Toyota Tacoma Review

Toyota's portable pick-ups are easy to consider granted. Proprietors seem to think they could carry unreasonable lots and also proceed running without routine maintenance so they fill them up like semis and drive them till the crankcase oil counts on taffy. Toyota dealers appear to consider them as an annuity, consistently selling well with marginal promotion and zero initiative. And also considering that they haven't transformed much because the intro of the latest generation and its Tacoma name in 1995, there's hardly ever much news for journalism to get delighted around.

For 2001 however, there's something brand-new in Tacomaville, with upgrading throughout the line, as well as the addition of four-door Double Cab and S-Runner street efficiency models.

Next year we'll be back neglecting the Tacoma again, no doubt.

1999 Toyota Tacoma Review

We couldn't assist however consider a scene from completion of the 1980s flick standard, Back to the Future when we were driving the 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. "Marty, I finished waxing your vehicle - as well as I placed 3 coats of wax on this time around," Biff claimed with a smile, as he handed Marty McFly the secrets to his 4x4 Toyota pick-up.

Although Toyota's small truck had not been really christened Tacoma up until 1995, mentally the Tacoma is the same as the black truck used in Back to the Future. Equally as Marty's Toyota 4x4 looked like it was greater than qualified off-road, our truck, furnished with the $1,660 Toyota Competing Development (TRD) off-road package, appeared to have comparable capacities.

As well as with off road tuned suspension, black wheel arc moldings, 15-inch alloy wheels rolling on 31-inch tires and a locking rear differential, the Tacoma we checked most definitely had the equipment necessary to tackle severe off-road situations.
