Toyota Tacoma – the North American pickup line: SR5 and TRD trims, four- and six-cylinder petrol engines from 2.4 to 4.0 litres, unladen weights from 1,540 to 2,440 kg, 9 versions in the register
The Toyota Tacoma is the pickup line Toyota has built specifically for the North American market since 1995, first in Fremont, California, and later also in San Antonio, Texas; it replaced the Hilux-related model sold there until then as the Toyota Pickup. The SR5 trim has traditionally marked a mid-level equipment grade at Toyota, while TRD stands for Toyota Racing Development and covers off-road packages such as TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road; Trail Hunter adds a version built for long expedition drives with reinforced suspension. V6-badged models carry the six-cylinder petrol engine, while the remaining variants come with four-cylinders.

The register lists nine versions with displacements from 2,393 to 4,000 cm³ from four or six cylinders, unladen weights from 1,540 to 2,440 kg, gross weights from 2,040 to 3,100 kg and widths from 1,690 to 2,050 mm; lengths range from 5,100 to 5,450 mm.
The Tacoma has for years been among the best-selling mid-size pickups in the United States and Canada, serving both private and commercial buyers as a trade and leisure vehicle; in Europe it is available only through imports.
On used examples, on the older generations the condition of the ladder frame, known for rusting through, matters, along with automatic or manual transmission, the condition of the transfer case on 4x4 models, the suspension on TRD versions, and the bed and tow hitch; parts run through the Toyota network.
