    Yep, 2nd Gen as everyone else stated, 2 completely different styles of truck. Check out the first gen section, I'm sure you kind find some pics to show you the difference.

    I almost feel there should be more than just 2 generations.. like the 80s model.. and a 00s model.. both in same generation just doesn't seem right when comparing body styles

    Wasn't it considered like the T-100 in the 80s or something? And the Tacoma came out in like 1995 or something? I don't know, don't know my Toyota lore very well :eek:

    Thank you! There was some confusion when I read that it didn't have to do with the year. In the article I read it said something like there was 1st and 2nd Gen in every year. Thanks for straitening that out for me!

    they may have but in 2000 still had T-100.. I just thought they all were tacomas (80-up) but that makes more sense now..

    Before 95, it was the Hilux, most commonly referred to and known as simply "the Toyota Pickup." T-100's are totally different, and were made from '93 through '98.
