2007 Toyota Tacoma
The 2007 Toyota Tacoma is a line more than it is a model of truck. Three
different engines, various cab size and truck bed configurations on 2
and 4-wheel drive platforms mean the Toyota Tacoma line is diverse in
its shape and capability range. The 4-cylinder models are described here.
They are aimed at those who want the usefulness of a light-duty pick-up
truck without sacrificing economy and driving something more beefy than
is necessary 90% of the time. The 2WD Tacoma models are highly rated for
fuel economy, quality and reliability, all traits characteristic of Toyota.
Available Models
The 4-cylinder 2007 Toyota Tacoma models have an assortment of permutations.
However, in order of cost, they are as follows: 2WD Base regular-cab (manual),
2WD Base regular-cab (automatic), 4WD Base regular-cab (manual), 4WD regular-cab
(automatic), 2WD Xtracab extended-cab (manual), 2WD Xtracab extended-cab
(automatic), 4WD Xtracab extended-cab (manual), 4WD Xtracab extended-cab
(automatic), 2WD PreRunner regular-cab (automatic), 2WD PreRunner Xtracab
extended-cab (automatic), and finally, the 2WD PreRunner Double Cab crew-cab
(automatic).
In essence, there are manual and automatic versions of the 2WD and 4WD
Base regular-cab and Xtracab editions, and, automatic transmission controlled
versions of the 2WD PreRunner models in regular, Xtracab and Double Cab
Crew Cab. Finally, at the top of the price range, the Double Cab crew-cab
has a 4WD edition.
Interior Features
The 2007 Toyota Tacoma starts with a barebones work horse, the Base Regular
Cab, which has power steering, a bench seat with cloth upholstery, and
AM/FM radio and that's about it. However, at the other end of the scale,
the Pre-runner adds front bucket seats w/power driver-seat lumbar support,
a tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel, power door locks, remote keyless
entry, a tachometer and variable-intermittent wipers.
The more major luxury amenities are available as parts of comprehensive
optional packages. The Chrome Package, for example, offers air conditioning,
4-in-1 audio system, tachometers and various exterior detailing.
Exterior Features
The 2007 Toyota Tacoma has bold styling, making it look bigger than it
is while preserving its mobility in urban traffic situations. However,
the exterior displays the many permutations. The Double Cab models have
independently opening front-hinged rear doors; the Xtracabs have two doors
and jump seats in the back while the regular cab just has the front bench.
The PreRunner models have raised suspension and are more off-road capable
as a result.
Performance
The 4-cylinder Toyota Tacoma trucks produce 142-hp from 2.4-liters of
displacement. 160 lb-ft. of torque pushes pretty hard regardless of the
model you are driving. Enough, with 1,480-pounds of payload capacity,
to give this model a "best in its class" with 200-300 pounds
more capacity than its four-cylinder competitors.
Safety and Security
Safety is a key design priority for Toyota and the Tacoma is a safe vehicle
because of its height and the extensive visibility allowed by the truck
seat position. However, this safety is enhanced further with dual-front
supplemental restraints.

2007 Toyota Tacoma Highlights
 Outstanding
power-to-weight ratios help give Tacoma models impressive performance
and fuel efficiency. Toyota dealers offer a Toyota Racing Development
(TRD) supercharger kit for the V6 that boosts horsepower to 260.
The system carries a full factory warranty and is EPA-certified.
Tacoma
offers both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models in all body
styles. Forty percent of all Tacoma's sold are 4X4 models, which
feature a two-speed transfer case and a heavy-duty chassis. A locking
rear differential is available as an option.
A
sporty StepSide bed is available for all standard-cab and Xtracab
models in conjunction with the SR5 option package. The steel StepSide
cargo box provides the same functional bed length, overall exterior
width and cargo box depth as the regular bed. The cargo floor width
between the wheelwells also remains the same. The interior bed width
is reduced by just under nine inches, but payload remains the same.
The
Tacoma offers a wide variety of interior and exterior upgrade options,
as well as a large selection of dealer-installed accessories to
personalize the truck. Many buyers choose the sporty SR5 package
to add the most desirable options at a high-value price. The SR5
package includes air conditioning, 3-in-1 audio, tilt steering wheel,
tachometer, digital clock, sunvisors with vanity mirrors, and a
chrome or color-keyed appearance package.
