    Hi I am a new Tacoma owner!
    learned a lot from this forum before buying, so thanks for all the help.
    Used to have a 93 pickup and a 94 xtra cab, been sorry ever since I sold
    that one

    I just went to Orlando to check out a 98 Tacoma and test drive it, and I bought it! Love it love it love it! I took it ut and went to Starbucks and got a coffee to make sure it could drive without spillage- yes, yes it can, ok I was sold!

    So shweeet! :D

    I wonder if someone can help me though because I am really not sure exactly what model it is ( I havent even taken possession yet, need to pick it up this weekend)

    It is a 98 with V6 3.4 engine automatic and says " Limited" in chrome on the front, and has a "TRD" sticker on each side in the back, but it is not a 4x4.
    It has bucket seats, sunroof, red lights in the doors, cool red turn lights on the side of the truck, power everything, running boards, even a vent in the hood and dual exhaust that the second owner says was from the factory.Crazy cool!

    I thought that TRD meant it was a 4x4, but also read somewhere that it might only be that the owner just put the sticker on?

    The original owner really tricked it out, so Im surprised its not a 4x4, but what is it then?


    Ill post some pics, whatever it is I love it:)

    139k miles, really nice condition, old man I bougt it from is the second owner. It was under a carport all the time, so the paint is great too.

    Not letting me upload but ill try later on a different computer.

    TRD is a package toyota offers. It does not have to be 4x4.
