generations

sorry for the dumb question, but exactly how many generations and/or facelifts has the Tacoma gone through?

and to get it straight: a "prerunner" is a 4x2 right? if its 4x4 it's a sr5 or trd, correct? but a "prerunner" is a 4x2?

I have an sr5, and it's 4x4. I just wanna make sure so when others are talking about their tacomas I understand the terminology

thanks!

 

Only two generations, hopefully we will see a third soon yes a prerunner is 2 wheel drive. I believe the sr5 is an upgraded package, so a 4x4 isn't necesarilly a sr5 or trd.

 

okay thanks! so you could have a trd and it still be a 2wd? that kinda seems like it would defeat the purpose of having all those offroad options if it is only a 2wd.

thanks for the info anyways!

 

trd= prerunner or 4x4
prerunner= 2wd only but with the 4x4 suspension
i believe the sr5 is available on all tacomas, it basically gives you upgraded interior and more chrome (?)
the sr5 package started out as being Sport Rally 5 speed, meaning it had the manual transmission, but toyota has gotten away from that.
