The Tacoma is available in up to 18 different configurations, based on three cab types: Regular Cab, Access Cab, and Double Cab. Depending on the cab of your choice, the buyer also has a choice between 60.3-inch or 73.5-inch bed lengths. Drivetrains also run the gamut in this case: The Tacoma can be had in four- and six-cylinder models, 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains, and as a PreRunner option which combines the aggressive stance of the 4x4 with the sport-like performance of the 236-horsepower engine in a two-wheel-drive package.
Engine choices throughout the line include a 2.7-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine pumping out 159 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. Also included standard in the PreRunner, and PreRunner Double Cab, as well as the Access Cab is the 4.0-liter DOHC V6 with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), which puts down 266 lb-ft of torque. The V6-powered Tacoma has a towing payload of up to 6,500 pounds. Power hits the pavement with P215/70R15 tires on steel wheels or P245/75R16 wheels on styled steel wheels, which are exclusive to the 4x4 and PreRunner models.
