TOYOTA
TRUCKS |
Toyota constructs two trucks at factories in the United States. The Tacoma series, produced at a Toyota manufacturing 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's Indiana plant, emerges in a new large-scale design for 2007 with new power choices.

Tundra |
Toyota's biggest truck grows in size with the re-do for 2007. It also gains strength with the towing capacity exceeding 10000 pounds, thanks to a new 5.7-liter i-Force V8 engine teamed with a heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission. Stock plant is Toyota's 4.0-liter V6 with 236 hp. Tundra's cab choices include the Regular Cab, Access Cab and Double Cab, and there are three trim variations with a base issue, the well-equipped SR5 and deluxe Limited. In all, Tundra offers more than 30 models now, depending on powertrain, cab style, trim level and traction (RWD or 4WD) mode.

Tacoma |
Toyota reinvented this best-selling compact pickup in 2005 and returns it for 2007 with fresh interior features like larger seats and a two-tone instrument panel. Tacoma shows three cab styles 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. Prerunner with RWD traction has the look of a customized 4WD truck, while X-Runner is a swoopy ground-hugging performance truck.
