Toyota Pickup Trucks - Not a Tacoma?

I'll throw caution to the winds and say that, yes, it could have been a different model!!!!

Thanks for the answer but, "could" isn't one.

"could" wasn't my answer.

Thanks.......I'll keep that in mind. Nothing worse than wasting time with people not worth the time.

you see that the Admin friends of lynlynch have once again jumped in a deleted any post that point out what sort of person he is. Make sure that you do not annoy/ disagree with any of the guris here or you will be punished.

How about a Toyota Hilux? Do any of the pictures under the "Thailand" heading look like your daughter's vehicle?

Thanks Moose.

With the statement I just found, I would assume that it was an SR5. However I don't want to guess. I would like someone that KNOWS, to tell me.

Compact Toyota pickups gained a restyling for 1989, with shift-on-the-fly part-time 4-wheel drive and rear antilock brakes. The new ABS system was standard on SR5 V6 models, optional on SR5 4-cylinder pickups. Standard powerplants in 1990 included both a fuel-injected and carbureted 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, plus an available 150-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. The two 4-cylinder engines provided 102 horsepower and 116 horsepower, respectively. Standard on SR5 V6 models and optional on Xtracab Deluxe pickups was the 3.0-liter V6. The carbureted engine offered a 4-speed manual gearbox, while the other two came standard with a 5-speed manual, with an available 4-speed overdrive automatic.

While not really a Toyota guy, it appears the Tacoma did not enter until 1995:

With this information, it appears the answer to your question "Could it have been a different model than a Tacoma." is YES.

In '93 and '94, Toyota pickups were offered in Base, DLX, and SR5.

Great

Thanks

Older Toyota trucks didn't have an actual name. They only had one model, with a few versions. They were just called the "Toyota Truck".

The guest was correct in his desription of Toyota truck "naming"...a small bit of advice...Look up the codes on the the VIN , and you change all the coulds into woulds...;-)

If I still had it....................I woulds of.

Early Toyotas sold in the states were desginated "Pick-up" - at least that's how they show up at the local Autozone. O'Rielly's shows them as "Hi-lux". I can't be certain about how they were named for Canadian sales. I will tell you that my '92 2 wheel drive has 485XXX miles on it and still runs fine. Just make sure to change the oil and filters on a regular basis and she'll have a lot of trouble free miles.

Is it wider than a standard Toyota P/U, maybe it's a T100?

Also did you happen to check the title?

I have't seen it for 5 years. Let's keep it simple guys.

Wha...???

???

Reference #12.

If you sold it 5 years ago, why does it matter now what it was?

What? I was having as discussion regarding the name of his wifes Toyota truck when they met.

What does that matter to you. I thank you all. The disussion is over...........DUH.

DUH? Canadian? Must be from California ;-]

I had an '89 - long before "Tacoma". I think they are pretty much the same, or at least what my "Pickup" evolved into, just a new marketing thing they came up with. I seem to remember the same - Basic, Deluxe, and SR5. Hi-Lux sounds familiar as well, but then again I'm in the U.S. - I would assume that all bets are off for Canada, but I guess we all know what happens when one assumes now, don't we! I have seen other models in other countries that I often wished were available in the U.S., but it was not to be.

I owned a 1994 Toyota 8100, S/B P/U. This model was made from 1992 - 1994. In 1995, Toyota started making the Tacoma.
