    Hey everyone,

    New to the Tacoma scene. I had recently purchased a 98 Tacoma and was wondering if this generation of Taco's ever came with a center console? I always find the need to rest my elbow on there with any vehicle I have. If couldn't find any info on it through the search but if anyone could direct me to some answers, that would be greatly appreciated. Even if you know of a aftermarket alternative that fits nicely. My interior is tan so preferably something with a tan options. Thanks in advance.

    They did.

    Word of advice: seek an 01-04 center console. It'll bolt right up to your truck no problem and it is superior in every way to the 98-00 design.

    ^ True. However they're not very easy to find. Took me several months to find a console, now I'm waiting to find a bucket seat so I can install it.

    My 1998 had no console, my 2000 has one. The 2000 console is nicer than not having a console, but not by much. The square cup holders are absurd.

    I believe the ones with no console had the bench seat with a drop down arm rest? Either way check eBay for a later year console....don't bother with a 98-00 unless you only own square cups..

    Bucket seats in my 1998, just no console between the seats.

    Wow, thank you all for the quick and informative responses. I've been on ebay daily searching but nothing has come up just yet. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. Thanks again!

    You can make anything fit if your clever enough.
