Toyota Tacoma 2004: For the very first time in 10 years, pick-up fans ultimately obtained an all-new Toyota Tacoma last year.

Toyota Tacoma 2004


Mostly, the 2017 Toyota Tacoma maintains its predecessors' positioning as the go-to midsize truck choice for off-roading and also other rugged adventures. Particularly when you select among the three TRD trim levels, it can go places and also do points that the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon would flush at. The Honda Ridgeline would laugh, reverse and also go home. On the other hand, it's still less comfy, sizable and also refined than those vehicles, implying it's less desirable as a day-to-day chauffeur.

However truly, we like this purposeful, uncompromised nature. Although the Tacoma will not be for every person due to it, it'll likewise be perfectly fit for those that desire its distinct abilities.

What's New for 2017?

After its redesign in 2014, the Tacoma gets in 2017 with a brand-new TRD Pro trim degree. There are likewise some minor devices changes too.

2001 Toyota Tacoma Review

Toyota's compact pick-ups are easy to consider provided. Proprietors appear to believe they could bring silly loads and proceed running without routine maintenance so they fill them up like semis and drive them up until the crankcase oil looks to taffy. Toyota dealerships seem to consider them as an annuity, consistently selling well with marginal promotion and also absolutely no initiative. And considering that they have not transformed a lot given that the intro of the latest generation and also its Tacoma name in 1995, there's hardly ever much news for journalism to obtain thrilled about.

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

Following year we'll be back neglecting the Tacoma once again, no question.

1999 Toyota Tacoma Review

We could not help but think of a scene from the end of the 1980s film classic, Back to the Future when we were driving the 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. "Marty, I finished waxing your truck - and also I put three coats of wax on this time," Biff claimed with a smile, as he handed Marty McFly the tricks to his 4x4 Toyota pickup.

Although Toyota's portable vehicle had not been actually christened Tacoma until 1995, spiritually the Tacoma coincides as the black vehicle utilized in Back to the Future. Equally as Marty's Toyota 4x4 resembled it was greater than capable off-road, our vehicle, outfitted with the $1,660 Toyota Racing Development (TRD) off-road bundle, showed up to have similar capacities.

As well as with off roadway tuned suspension, black wheel arc moldings, 15-inch alloy wheels rolling on 31-inch tires as well as a securing rear differential, the Tacoma we tested absolutely had the tools essential to deal with serious off-road circumstances.
