For 2001, the entire Tacoma line received an exterior makeover to give it a more aggressive appearance. Otherwise, the styling has changed little since the Tacoma was introduced in 1995.We've recently spent time in 4x4 Limited, S-Runner, and four-cylinder StepSide models.
The Limited and the S-Runner each had the 3.4-liter V6 and Xtracab body style. But that's where the similarities ended.
The 4x4 has a tough, off-road look to it, with big, beefy tires and enough ground clearance to hop over medium-sized rocks and stumps. The S-Runner is much lower to the ground, and is graced with tasteful bodywork add-ons that go well with its handsome five-spoke alloy wheels and low-profile tires. In fact, several people stopped to admire the S-Runner and wanted to know where they could get one.
The four-cylinder StepSide is a more modest-looking, practical truck, ready to do some work; although the StepSide body features elegant external fenders, more shapely and less radical than most similar retro-truck designs. Next Page
