The Toyota Tacoma is a compact pickup truck manufactured by the Toyota Motor Company since 1995
Since its introduction more than a decade ago, the Toyota Tacoma has been a mainstay of the compact-pickup segment. Typical advantages to a new or used Tacoma include a variety of body styles to choose from, useful off-road abilities, solid build quality and a better-than-average reputation for reliability and durability.
Downsides are few. Even without many options added, Toyota's compact pickup usually costs more than competing trucks from domestic manufacturers, and taller drivers might find the cabin of the first-generation Tacoma to be somewhat uncomfortable. But overall, the Toyota Tacoma is a very capable pickup and comes recommended for nearly all truck shoppers.

Compact pickups have improved markedly over the past few years. Automakers have increased the size and power output of these trucks and expanded their feature content. The Toyota Tacoma, now in its second generation, is at the forefront of this trend and could aptly be called a "midsize" pickup.
