Competition is tight in the mid-size pickup segment, and Toyota's 2009 Tacoma responds by offering impressive versatility, including the ability to configure a pickup with either on-road or off-road capability in mind. PreRunner versions add a tough 4x4 look and higher ride height to a 4x2 drivetrain, and the X-Runners pair a sport-tuned chassis with the 236-horsepower V6 engine.
Additionally, Toyota Racing Development (TRD) Off-Road and Sport packages are available on most V6 models to upgrade either trail or pavement performance.
Now with extra standard safety features like Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), a limited-slip differential, active front headrests and roll-sensing curtain and side seat airbags, there is even more to like about the 2009 Tacoma.
