2009 TOYOTA LINE-UP — TRUCKS

[ TOYOTA CARS ] [ TOYOTA TRUCKS] [ TOYOTA SUVS ]

ToyotaToyota builds two trucks at factories in the United States. The mid-size Tacoma, produced at a Toyota facility in California, comes with three cab sizes, two powertrain choices and options for rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD) traction. Tundra, assembled at Toyota plants in Indiana and Texas, measures up to full-size status with multiple choices for cab configuration, powertrain and traction.

2009 Toyota TundraTundra
Toyota's biggest truck for 2009 presents three cab configurations, three powertrain choices — including a 5.7-liter V8 rated at 381 hp — and as many as 31 different models on three trims with RWD and 4WD traction versions. The acronyms in vehicle safety aboard Tundra include an anti-lock brake system (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD) and electronic brake assist (EBA). Cabs split as a Regular Cab, Access Cab and Double Cab, and trims work as entry-level DL, well-equipped SR5 and top-tier Limited. New trim packages are the TRD Sport and the TRD Rock Warrior with TRD off-road suspension.

2009 Toyota TacomaTacoma
Toyota's best-selling pickup for 2009 gains more standard features for comfort and more safety gear. Three cab styles work on Tacoma now with the two-door Regular Cab, extended Access Cab or four-door Double Cab. A 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine worth 159 hp is standard, but a 4.0-liter V6 for 236 hp is available. Both RWD and 4WD versions are offered, as well as special editions like PreRunner and X-Runner. Tacoma steps up to Toyota's STAR safety system for all models with ABS, EBD, EBA and a vehicle stability control (VSC) system with Traction Control (TRAC) anti-skid equipment
