1997 Toyota T-100 Review

A high quality truck for lighter loads.
Interior
The Toyota conservatism extends to the interior of the XtraCab SR5 4x4

as well. The instrument panel has everything you need, laid out properly,

but while the tach and speedometer are large and conventional, the minor

instruments are sliding-bar gauges that went out in the '70s in American

passenger cars.

We found the interior of the T100 to be just as roomy as any of the

other extended-cab pickups on the market, and the 60/40 split front seats

were comfortable, with plenty of front-rear manual adjustment (power seats

are available). Interior materials in our test truck were high quality

and have the look of high durability, as well, although we found the color

combinations a bit on the dull side.

The rear seat area was well done, with a one-touch lever on the passenger

side that would slide the front passenger seat up so that groceries could

be loaded into the rear floor area. The rear seats, which split for even

more cargo convenience, are hinged off the back wall, and are a great deal

more comfortable than most. There's a storage compartment built into the

floor under each seat as well, and the rear compartment is fully trimmed

out.

Our test truck had the optional tonneau cover, and we're not sure whether

we liked it or not. The black, semi-rigid cover, with a hefty vinyl covering

supported by underbows, looked great and was extremely well made and taut.

But it's attached to the truck bed rail by a complicated system of six

aluminum clamps that will be hard to reach whenever the owner wants to

use the cargo bed. Next Page
