2006 Toyota Tacoma Overview

Introduction

The Toyota Tacoma may be the best pickup in its class. And that's saying a lot, because the entire class is outstanding.

Tacoma steps to the front of this class with its comfortable cab, refined ride, responsive handling, proven off-road capability, and quality construction. Properly equipped V6 models are rated to tow up to 6,500 pounds. In every way, this latest Tacoma improves on all the attributes that loyal Tacoma owners have cherished in the past, while increasing interior roominess and refinement. Perhaps most important, Tacoma enjoys Toyota's reputation for quality, durability and reliability. A wide choice of models is available, ranging from the work truck to the 4x4 Double Cab. The former is among the few regular-cab pickups available today as the market has moved to extended-cab and crew cab styles. TRD PreRunner models may make you feel like Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart getting ready to win another Baja 500, while the sporty X-Runner may make you feel like Rod Millen preparing to blast up Pike's Peak.

Tacoma was redesigned and launched as an all-new model for 2005 and there are no significant changes for 2006.
