2008 Toyota Tacoma Base Standard Cab Pickup 2-Door 2.7L

Detailed item info Model OverviewToyota Tacomas are well-regarded in the mid-size pickup segment. as evidenced by their traditionally strong resale values. For 2008. all three of the typical pickup body styles are offered: regular cab. Access Cab (extended cab). and Double Cab (crew cab). The 2. 7L four-cylinder versions are available with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The regular cabs are only available with the four-cylinder. The 4. 0L V6 is available with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. All body types are available with a six-foot composite bed. and the Double Cabs also offer a shorter five-foot bed. Model offerings range from the workaday four-cylinder two-wheel-drive regular cab. starting at less than $15. 00. all the way up to the V6 four-wheel-drive Double Cab that can be optioned north of $32. 00. Within that range. there's something for nearly everyone with an interest in this size pickup. With the 2005 redesign. the Tacoma got substantially larger. moving firmly into mid-sized territory. For a truck of this size. an impressive 6. 00 pounds can be towed behind a properly configured and equipped V6 drivetrain. Toyota has created model and option choices that allow buyers to project an on-road or off-road personality. to taste. The PreRunner versions add such goodies as raised ride height. a front skid plate. and mud and snow tires to create a four-wheel-drive look on lower-cost two-wheel drive trucks. PreRunner versions of all body types are available. The X-Runner goes in a completely different direction. adding a limited-slip differential. a more rigid and lowered suspension. 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires. a hood scoop. and other styling and performance enhancements as befit a street performance machine. The X-Runner is availably only in a two-wheel-drive V6 Access Cab version with a six-speed manual transmission. The main option packages carry these themes further. The SR5 package adds many of the usual cosmetic and comfort improvements. including chrome exterior accents. upgraded seat fabric. a leather steering wheel. remote keyless entry. cruise control. and more. Toyota Racing Development (TRD) packages are available in both Off-Road and Sport versions. The Off-Road package takes the SR5 package and adds sport seats. off-road suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers and progressive-rate front springs. 16-inch aluminum wheels. a locking rear differential. and skid plates. The Sport package is similar. but substitutes a sport-tuned suspension. 17-inch aluminum wheels and a limited-slip differential. Both TRD packages add a 115V/400W power outlet in the bed and fog lamps. Standard on all models are anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist.
