Toyota Tacoma
July 31st, 2007 by Shenron
The Toyota Tacoma is a compact pickup that ain’t. What I mean by this is that it started in 1995 as Toyota’s compact pickup truck, but with the recent update in 2005 they upped it to a mid-sized, which is the trend with all trucks except for the Ford Ranger - the only compact still in production. Well, on the basics, since 1995 the Toyota Tacoma has been in full production and so far it is the final originator from the much beloved and ancient Toyota Hilux, and can be traced all the way back to 1935. This is the descendant of the Toyota Truck manufacturing legacy, culminating in more than seventy years along the exact same line of trucks. Well, the Tacoma comes in either two or four door front engine rear wheel or all wheel drive and has itself a four speed automatic or a five speed manual transmission, and along with that it came with three different engines over its life span until 2004, being the 2.4L four cylinder 142 horse engine, the 2.7 four cylinder 150 horse, and finally the much improved 3.4 V6 with 190 horses. The first era underwent a change in 2000, but it was minor and mostly cosmetic.
In 2005 Toyota rolled its new Mid-sized Tacoma off the line and let it be known that compact trucks were dead to them. They included eighteen configuration options along with extended cabs, bigger beds, and a whole bunch of other goodies to choose from. Of course they updated the transmission and engines too, and there have even been after market kits released by third parties that can make the horsepower 50% higher on some of the engines. The current engine lineups are the 2.7L four stroke 159 horse, and the 4.0L V6 at 236 horses, transmissions include a four speed and five speed auto, along with a five speed and six speed manual, also, depending on the engine you can have either a 17 gallon or a 21 gallon tank.

Toyota Tundra
July 29th, 2007 by Shenron
Toyota’s full sized pickup truck is the Toyota Tundra and is the current successor to the Toyota T100, a previous model that was the base for Toyota’s full sized pickup trucks. The current Tundra was launched in 200 and underwent a revision in 2006, making the 2007 model year the beginning of a new era for the vehicle. The Tundra is a basic and normal truck design with the front engine mount and rear or full wheel drive. The T100 had always been criticized as being too small, and such was the fate of its successor, with folks here and there saying it wasn’t fit to be considered a full-sized truck, however sales had nearly doubled that of the T100 by the second year. This first era of truck featured three engines, and one of them underwent improvements midway through its run, in addition to having several transmissions. The Truck had a 3.4L V6 engine to choose, which gave it 190 horses, then there was the 4.0L engine at 236 horses, and finally the 4.7 which had an initial V8 pull of 245 horses, but was bumped up to 271. Transmissions included a four speed auto, a five speed auto and manual, and finally a six speed auto.
With the update Toyota introduced to the world its second era truck in 2006, and began selling in 2007, and this truck was much larger. What Toyota decided to do was create a truck that would directly challenge the Dodge, Ford, and Chevy Empire with a truck that could haul 10,000 pounds and have a payload of 2,000, along with new engines and transmissions and much better gear ratios. The truck has no less than thirty configurations it can be bought with and also has many bed sizes to choose from. One of the best improvements so far is its massive 27 gallon fuel tank and the much better engines, for example, it now has the options of a 4.0L V6 that pumps out 236 horses, a 4.7 V8 that rocks out 271 horses, and finally a 5.7 V8 that has a whopping 381 horses and thus gives it the capacity to not only haul 10,000 pounds or more, but to do so with ease.
