Ever since it was last redesigned in 2005, Toyota’s Tacoma has been more of a mid-size pickup model than a compact. But it remains available in a wide range of models powered by four- and six-cylinder engines that make it a more fuel-efficient choice than full-size trucks, if not much more maneuverable.
The 2008 Toyota Tacoma comes in a very wide range of models, including Regular Cab, Access Cab, and Double Cab editions with standard or long-bed (LB) lengths, rear- or four-wheel drive, and several different trims ranging from a basic work truck to an off-road-ready ranch vehicle to a long, stable rig good for towing up to 6,500 pounds.
