Toyota Tacoma provides a variety of available body styles and trim levels. There's the PreRunner and X-Runner. The PreRunner provides the look and suspension of the four-wheel-drive trucks sans the actual four-wheel-drive running gear, while the X-Runner features modifications that enhance on-street performance without giving up much utility. Of course, there's also a true off-road package for 4WD trucks aimed at buyers who plan to do serious off-highway work with their Tacomas.

For power, the Tacoma comes with either a 2.7-liter, four-cylinder engine or a 4.0-liter V6. Owners planning on frequent hauling or towing will certainly want to choose the V6. Available transmissions for the four-cylinder are either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. V6 buyers can choose between a six-speed manual and a five-speed automatic.
