I am looking at buying a toyota tacoma. I like the 95 Tacoma looks. Dont no what years that body ran but I want to get that body style. I want to get a 2 door shortbed and was wondering if they put a factory v6 in any of them?

Yes they did. Your title says 94-96? Tacoma's started in 96 so those have a 3.4l v6. If you get a pickup then you get a 3.0l v6.

95.5 was the start of the tacoma. 95.5+=V6 3.4L DOHC 5vze and 95-=V6 3.0L SOHC 3vze

Tofer

you'll want the 95.5+

thanks are they kinda of rare for the body style i want (2 door..Not extended because all I see is v4's?

i dont think ive ever seen a reg cab with the 3.4L prob to much engine for that small of a truck

tc

They are only available in the early years, and quite rare. One of the COTTORA guys has one.

i used to want a reg cab with the v6, until i became an old geezer. now i think the 4 cylinder is the greatest thing since sliced bread

I thought it was 95.5 but put 96 to be safe. A pre-runner single cab v6 with trd supercharger is fast.

the reason i want a V6 is i want to lift it and put some big tires..What is the biggest tire I can put on the IFS...is there a way to make the IFS heavier duty..SAS is out of my budget..guess its the wrong section for that but ill probably sound stupid in the offroad one.

tc

Tire size is a function of money - how big do you want to go?

mud51193

atleast 35's id like to do 37's

tc

Ohhh - that's reasonable.

35's seem to be the cutoff - some people have NO problems, some have tons of problems. Should fit with a bracket lift.

37's you will have to be easy on the throttle, especially with the wheels turned. Will need a bracket lift and either trimming or a body lift. Manual hubs would be recommended.

V4...Surely you mean I4..?

mud51193

ok. lets say i really want to go with the 37's. First of all can i put heaver duty IFS parts. I guess i mean is there parts i could put on it to keep it from braking. What about the back rear axle. And also I know my friends 4 cyclinder with 35's will only go about 60. If geared correctly will a v6 have enough power for 37's..sorry im new to the toyota thing..I have a chevy fullsize but its a little diffrent.

Tacoma sales and spec documentation listed a Regular Cab 4X4 V6 model during the 1995.5 - 1997 generation. There's never been a factory 5-lug (2WD / 'mini') Regular Cab Tacoma with a V6.

The sales and spec documentation definitely do *NOT* list such a combo from 1999 onward.

The 1998 factory documentation omits the section (vehicle weights) that cites this combo, so 1998 is a bit of a mystery.
