    Toyota doesn't make a vehicle called a Tacoma "Runner".

    Maybe you have a Prerunner and somebody changed the body markings.

    Go here and enter your VIN and it will tell you all about your "Runner":

    Does it have 5 lugs per wheel or 6 lugs?

    Post up a picture of the truck in question.

    Trim code comes up as an SR5 Pre-Runner, guessing someone removed the Pre from the tailgate:rofl:

    Looks like a PreRunner to me.
    If you want you can DM me the VIN and I can see what TIS shows about it.

    Previous owner has a strange prevalent aversion to prefixes.

    I'd have the upholstery shampooed.
