Year to Year Changes
1991 Toyota Tacoma:
For '91 rear-wheel antilock brakes continue as standard on the SR5 models, but are optional on all other Toyota pickups. Standard on the SR5 V6 4x4--and newly optional on all of Toyota's 4WD pickups for '91--is a system the automaker calls 4WDemand. This system has automatic-locking front hubs. Shifting a floor-mounted transfer-case lever engages the front differential and drive shafts, permitting shift-on-the-fly between 2WD and 4WD High at any speed up to 50 mph. Gone for '91 is the carbureted 102-horsepower 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine.
1992 Toyota Tacoma:
All models get a new front valance panel and a new grille that incorporates the Toyota logo; grilles continue to differ slightly between 2WD and 4WD models. Also added this year is a dashboard storage compartment below the radio.
1993 Toyota Tacoma:
Toyota shelves the heaviest-duty versions of its compact pickup in deference to its new T100 midsize truck and juggles some equipment on the remaining models. Gone for '93 is the long-bed 4WD model; all other models remain available with 2- or 4-wheel drive. Also dropped from the lineup is the 2WD long-bed workhorse, the One Ton model. It had a payload of 2520 pounds, just 50 pounds less than the new 2WD T100's One Ton. Also, new exterior graphics are added and cruise control is no longer available on the 2WD DX. Finally, the 4WD SR5 V6 now has 31-inch tires only when alloy wheels are ordered.
1994 Toyota Tacoma:
Toyota's line of compact pickups return for '94 without a long-bed body style, but with new safety features for the remaining regular cab and extended cab models. New safety features include side door-guard beams and a center high-mount stoplight, both now required on pickups.
