    Looking for a unicorn Tacoma, does it exist?

    What is the difference between a S-Runner truck and a Tacoma that is optioned with the v6, Xtra cab, manual and 2wd? Different shocks? Anything else? Also when did the Tacoma first get a 6 speed manual transmission, not a 5 speed?

    Looking for a unicorn Tacoma, does it exist?

    I was unaware of the supercharger kit for the ranger, I'll have to look into that. My reason for the Tacoma is that as Bogunn said, they are tough and reliable. I have enough unreliable cars in my life, I'd like my truck to be something that is super reliable. My understanding is that an...

    Looking for a unicorn Tacoma, does it exist?

    That's right! Since posting this thread I've learned about the differences between the 5 lug and 6 lug trucks, and although they did make the combo I was looking for (2wd, manual, regular cab, v6) they were all 6 lug. Apparently the early first gen xtra cabs could be gotten as a 5 lug with the...

    Looking for a unicorn Tacoma, does it exist?

    Out of my price range. I'm intending to buy the first gen truck now, and supercharge it in a year or so when I've saved some cash up.

    Looking for a unicorn Tacoma, does it exist?

    As mentioned earlier, I'm not looking to tow anything real- just haul a dirtbike every now and then, something to carry boxes and equipment... all things that are well within the limits of a Tacoma. As far as speed, I know that a supercharged Tacoma isn't going to win any races, but 250-300 hp...

    Looking for a unicorn Tacoma, does it exist?

    I appreciate your concern, but when I stay haul stuff I just mean like a dirtbike or boxes, not towing a car trailer. I'm fully aware of the differences between a light truck and full size truck, and I want the smallest, lightest truck I reasonably can. I have also been looking into old...

    Looking for a unicorn Tacoma, does it exist?

    I've found several single cab v6 Tacomas, just none that are 2wd. Are you suggesting that no 2wd v6 Tacomas were made? I agree it is not worth swapping a V6 into an original 4cylinder truck. Essentially, yes I'm looking for a lightweight tacoma that will handle well and be relatively quick...

    Looking for a unicorn Tacoma, does it exist?

    I want a truck to haul stuff around, but I want it to be as light as possible to get better gas mileage, handle better and be quicker (esp once I get a supercharger fitted to it). I don't take my vehicles off road, and I have other awd cars to use in bad weather.

    Looking for a unicorn Tacoma, does it exist?

    From my research, the 4x4 adds somewhere between 300-700 pounds, depending where you read. I am trying to get the lightest factory Tacoma I can (not stripping the interior or stuff like that). If I can't get the combination I want, I'll have to give in and get an xtra cab but even this seems...

    Looking for a unicorn Tacoma, does it exist?

    Hello all, I am new to the Tacoma world having never owned a Tacoma before. I recently learned about the TRD superchargers offered for the first gen Tacoma's. Excited by the concept, I began researching what spec of Tacoma I wanted to purchase with the intentions of supercharging. From my...
