#232 of 538 I would wait for the 2005 by i_luv_toyota Feb 25, 2004 (12:24 pm)
That's what I'm doing. I'm just waiting to see what the 4WD version will look like.   Also, the 05 will have a more powerful 4.0L V6 (from the current 4Runner) as opposed to the current 3.4L V6 in current Tacos.
#233 of 538 My guess is by chorton Feb 25, 2004 (3:53 pm)
The 05 will hit in fall and will be comparable to a dakota or a colorado in size. Toyota is usually quick to move with the market on compact trucks. I am not really sure if they will put a V8 in it or not, look at the 4runner. Now days we almost never see a V8 come through here. I bet we've only sold 2 or 3 this year. If they do offer the v8 it will probably be in the d-cab only maybe only in the limited or a 4x4. but it would be a towing monster! The V8 4runner will tow more than any other vehicle toyota sells in the US!!!
#234 of 538 have you guys seen this by ibudic1 Mar 18, 2004 (10:30 am)
Too bad there isn't a Tacoma vs ranger board any more. Check this out...   http://www.brakedisc.net/features/top-gear-toyota/index.php   this too, almost as impressive   http://www.fourwheeler.com/roadtests/16558/index.html

Thanks for the links. Entertaining. Yes the Tacoma/HiLux is very durable and very capable. My truck is almost a twin of the one tested by fourwheeler except mine has a factory sunroof. I really enjoy my truck and am happy I purchased it before the 05's arrived. The only change I would like is a turbo diesel that is offered on the HiLux in nearly every market except North America. Then my Tacoma would be perfect IMO.

could find something that meaningless to do with their time!   Second link is quite impressive.
#237 of 538 Towing with 2-wheel dolly by kirbyt Apr 23, 2004 (8:18 am)
Anyone with experience pulling another vehicle on a 2-wheel car dolly? Looking at doing this with a 4-DR V6 Prerunner to haul a Civic to Wisconsin next month. Can I just run on highway in normal highway overdrive or must run without? Any issues that I should be aware of?   Thanks for any tips and warnings.
#238 of 538 Towing by moparbad Apr 24, 2004 (6:26 pm)
Check everything TWICE when you hook up the trailer and the car. Check the hitch and the straps and chains holding the car to the dolly periodically throughout the trip. Maintain reasonable speeds. A tire failure while towing may end in disaster if traveling at too high a speed. I towed a compact car with a dolly and the concern I had was stopping. Weight of car plus dolly was around 4,000 lbs and stopping distance as well as the way the trailer pushed the truck was scary at times. Power to tow was fine and I left the ECT swith and overdrive in their normal positions. In talking to some other Tacoma owners who tow regularly they told me to watch the transmission temp. and stop and let trans. cool off and check fluid if the dash light for trans lit up. I did not experience any problems. My truck is a 2003 Tacoma 4WD Xcab V6 with automatic. I'll tell you this, even though the Tacoma is rated at 5,000 lbs, I would never want to tow that much.
#239 of 538 undercoating by donm Apr 27, 2004 (2:56 pm)
hey everybody, IM a new Taco owner! I've had my 04 pre-runner for a month now and I must say its everything I had read and heard about. Its a great truck. I have a question concerning the undercoating...I called the Toyota dealer that I purchased the truck from and they told me I didn't have to apply an undercoating because the factory already had done it, even thought it appears clear. I don't see the usual rough black surface that IM used to seeing with under coats. Can anyone elaborate on this? Thanks for your help.
#240 of 538 Which Tacoma 4x2 Xtracab by dave_b Apr 30, 2004 (4:06 pm)
Seeking input/experiences...not sure what would be best standard or automatic, 2.4L, 2.7L or 3.4L.   Initially, I was not going to look at the PreRunner but they seem plentiful. Not sure if the automatic coupled with either the 2.7L or 3.4L would make more sense than the 2.4L coupled with either the standard or automatic...   Any opinions??   Thanks Dave Replies to this message: mtngal (May 02, 2004 3:54 pm)
