curious on the year to year difference

so i was just talking with a friend today and this got brought up, though i know some of the differences i would like to educate myself on all years

so i come to you all mighty TACOWORLD

im curious the exact changes in motor/frame/appearance

just for the 95-04' tacos

if any of you have a link or care to explain year by year that would be great

 

95-97 have different rear leaf lengths then 98-04.

95-97 have different front ends look wise and interior.

98-00 have differ front ends and interior.

01-04 have different front ends and interiors

E locker rear axle was introduced in 98-04. But some rare 97 have it too.

 

There's a link here somewhere... maybe stickied in the pre-purchase helpful links?

It was very informative.

thanks but is that really it? i was thinking there would be more changes.

im familiar with all the interior and exterior looks i got that while shopping in the taco markey but i thought for sure there would be more suspension frame or motor mods?

 

Nope, not really.

They introduced an electronic throttle in 2003 but other than shit like daytime running lights, 16" wheels vs 15" wheels, and cosmetics... the trucks don't vary much.

 

very informative

i searched the forum on the first gen but i wasnt sure how to word it to produce what i wanted

 

what about a link similar to this for the 2nd gen?
