How many Tacoma Step Side did Toyota produce during the first generation?

you know i sat in that truck too!, it was near zero F degrees out and windy as heck
its definitely NOT made for anybody over 5'10 height hahah

 

Wow, with color matched ARE lid too. What was the asking price?

 

It was $14k. Only had 62k miles. Posted abt it here.

i wonder if they got near that price!?
... just drove by that used lot again a couple weeks ago and it was gone

 

Find me a pristine 4X4 with low miles, and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

It would go right into storage with some of my other oddball stuff.

 

Really strange. I've never seen one of those things before in the wild. Then I see this thread. The next day, I see one in New Orleans. Go figure.

 

Sorta reminds me of this. The era was not a high water point for pickup design.

 

Yeah those were fugly. If I recall, that was in the early 2000s when auto manufacturers were trying to mix old classic car/truck designs with modern design. Some succeeded but most failed

 

Searched Cargurus listings again. 238 2001-2003 Tacos for sale. Found 7 Stepsides.

Combine the search in Sept2020 with the one today, and that's 465 Tacomas, ten of which are stepsides. 2.15% of the sample. 540,000 produced for those years, results in an new estimate of 11,600 Stepsides.

 

I think they made at least 12

 

My Bro recently copped this, 1 owner, full service history. Got an absolute steal $7k CAD

 

Damn that’s a huge steal awesome!!!

 

That means I got a rarity IMO stoked!!!

 

Lol

 

Tundras definitely on the fugly side but I really like my 2000 with stepside/sidestep lol

 

Reminds me of the PT Cruiser... It is ugly and technically it is a truck. Chrysler specifically designed it to fit criteria for a light truck to meet EPA emissions standards...

 

Another car that will probably become a classic even though it wasn’t everybody’s favorite just saying…

 

Yeah, there is fan and enthusiast clubs that are already around for this car. To each their own I guess...
