2005 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner rear

Toyota's little truck ain't so little anymore. Having grown in every dimension, it now packs more power at every level, with a class-leading 2.7-liter 4 (164 HP) and a competitive 4.0-liter V6 (245 HP), the latter getting a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual. Regular Cab, Access Cab, and Double Cab models make for plenty of choices.
