1990-94 Toyota Pickup

Article Abstract:

The 1990-1994 Toyota Pickup models carry a 150-horsepower, 3.0-liter V-6 engine that is slightly smoother than its Nissan counterpart. Performance from the five-speed, four-wheel-drive, Xtracab SR5 V-6 is good, considering that these vehicles are the heaviest models in the line. Braking is good, and cab comfort, quietness and driving ease rate highly. The ride is comfortable especially for the tautly-sprung, four-wheel-drive model. These models offer stable cornering and feel confident and sure- footed.

1995-99 Toyota Tacoma Pickup

Article Abstract:

The 1995-1999 Toyota Tacoma Pickup models appear to have only the advantage of reliability over rival domestic compacts. Towing limits fall short of the rival Ranger and S-Series by roughly 1,000 lbs even with the 3.4-liter V-6 engine, and the single 6.2-ft cargo bed length trails behind nearly all other competitors, which offer regular-cab models with cargo bed of seven ft or 7.5 ft. While the brakes work well, ride quality is poor and handling is only passable.
