The Highly Reliable Pickup Truck – Toyota Tacoma

by Masashi S. JDM Enthusiast

The Toyota Tacoma is a pickup truck introduced in 1995 and is currently in its third generation. The Toyota Tacoma has slowly transformed from a compact pickup to a mid-size pickup while becoming more stylish and powerful as time went by. 

First Generation

The first generation Tacoma was revealed in March 1995 and was produced with great handling, comfort, performance, and safety. The exterior features include a single-piece flush-mounted windscreen framing that provides a smooth and sleek look, as well as a 37 degrees door handle plus new large side mirrors and a stoplight on the top of the roofline.

The Tacoma offered 2.4-liter and 2.7-liter petrol engines, while the third engine was the 3.4-liter V6 petrol, paired with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission and a 2WD or 4WD drivetrain.


Second Generation

The second generation was unveiled in 2004 and included three cabs, two bed lengths, two engines, and four transmissions. In 2012, a new front bumper, grille, headlights, shark fin antenna, hood, and satellite radio were added. The interior of Tacoma has a better material quality with comfortable and supportive seats.

The available engines were the 2.7-liter inline-4 petrol and the 4.0-liter V6 petrol engine, paired with either a 4-speed automatic, 5-speed automatic, 5-speed manual, or 6-speed manual transmission.


Third Generation

In 2015, the third generation was released with Access and Double Cab body styles with a larger grille, new headlights, an infused spoiler, an air dam, a redesigned bed, sequential LED/DRL headlamps, black-insert taillamps, and 16-inch alloy wheels. The interior includes soft-touch finishing replacing plastic, an infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa capability, a new instrument cluster, and dual-climate control. 

The Tacoma comes fitted with a 2.7-liter petrol engine paired with a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic and a 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine paired with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.


2022 Toyota Tacoma


The 2022 Toyota Tacoma Trail Edition has received new changes while the TRD Pro gets even better with unique suspension parts. The Trail Edition was a limited-production model with off-road features with a locking rear differential and the suspensions are lifted by 1.1 inches in front and 0.5 inches at the rear. The TRD Pro model also gets a better suspension by 1.5 inches in front and 0.5 inches at the rear with a new wheel-and-tire setup.
