2009 Toyota Highlander Review

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
The Toyota Highlander is the very portrait of the quiet SUV: sober look, lacklustre engine, efficient yet impersonal steering. In short, despite its undeniable road-going capabilities, it's easily lost in the sea of SUVs out there and doesn't push the envelop on any level. Full story...

2009 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4×4 V-6 SR5 TRD

2009 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 V-6 SR5 TRD - Toyota Midsize Pickup Truck Review - Automobile Magazine
The Tacoma may be the right size for the city, but it carries a full-size price tag.

As a person who enjoys doing small-scale outdoorsy work or towing the odd small camper, car, or boat, I really like "small" trucks like this Toyota Tacoma, the Nissan Frontier, and the Dodge Dakota, among others. Compared with their full-size kin, such pickups are generally more economical both in initial cost and upkeep, and they're more reasonable daily drivers. This particular Tacoma, however, sports a ton of options and costs nearly $8000 more than a base crew-cab Tacoma. I must admit, though, that its most costly option, a TRD off-road package, makes this Toyota a more desirable truck to me, as it's equipped with lots of four-wheelin'-friendly additions, such as a locking rear differential, skid plates, tow hooks, and an off-road-spec suspension. It's no Ford Raptor, but I'm sure this Toyota could get the job done on most trails that aren't super hard-core.inline_mediumwraptextright27436390/reviews/editors_notebook/0912_2009_toyota_tacoma_double_cab_4x4_v6_sr5_trd0912_06_z+2009_toyota_tacoma_double_cab_4x4_v6_sR5_tRD+front_passenger_interior.jpgTrue
