What part of 95 was my Tacoma made?

In searching for parts for my 1995 Tacoma 4x4, they ask weather it was made in the early part of the year or the later. I guess Toyota came out with another version half way though the year. How do I tell which one mine is?

tacoma's made in later half,

the toyota tacoma came out in 1995.5 if it looks like a tacoma and not toyota's pickup (1989-1995.5) then it was made in the later half

hope that helps

what engine do you have? if its the 3.4L V6 (5VZ) or the 2.7 (or is it 2.4?) I4 (2RZ or 3RZ) its the 95.5-04 model. if you have the 2.4L I4 (22RE) or the 3.0L V6 its 89-95.5 model. take a picture of your engine bay or something.

Key word = "Tacoma". If the name "Tacoma" appears anywhere on your truck, it's a 1995.5. It was not until then that any Toyota truck bore the name 'Tacoma'.

Prior to that, the USDM models were simply called 'Toyota pickups'.
