    Did a search, but I didn't find what I was looking for. What kind of changes did Toyota do to the Tacoma throughout the 2001-04 MY run? I am looking at a 2001 DC, and want to know if there are any little things that I would be missing out on by not getting a newer first gen. Thanks is advance!

    Seriously. I just want the extra space and 4x4 as well so I don't blame you guys at all.

    Both you guys will love what the 1st gens have to offer!! I got mine at 18 and feel that I need a little bit more room now. Good luck!
