2001 Toyota Tacoma Review

Toyota's small pickups are simple to consider approved. Owners seem to assume they could lug absurd lots and also continue running without regular maintenance so they pack them up like semis and also drive them up until the crankcase oil resorts to taffy. Toyota suppliers seem to consider them as an annuity, frequently marketing well with very little promo and absolutely no initiative. And also considering that they haven't changed much since the intro of the latest generation and also its Tacoma name in 1995, there's rarely much information for journalism to get excited about.

For 2001 nevertheless, there's something new in Tacomaville, with updating throughout the line, as well as the addition of four-door Dual Taxicab as well as S-Runner road performance designs.

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

1999 Toyota Tacoma Review

We couldn't assist but consider a scene from completion of the 1980s film standard, Back to the Future when we were driving the 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. "Marty, I finished waxing your truck - and I put three layers of wax on this time," Biff stated with a smile, as he handed Marty McFly the keys to his 4x4 Toyota pick-up.

Although Toyota's compact vehicle wasn't in fact christened Tacoma until 1995, emotionally the Tacoma coincides as the black truck utilized in Back to the Future. Just as Marty's Toyota 4x4 looked like it was more than capable off-road, our truck, geared up with the $1,660 Toyota Competing Growth (TRD) off-road plan, appeared to have comparable capabilities.

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 back differential, the Tacoma we examined absolutely had the devices needed to tackle major off-road circumstances.
