Did 94-96 toyota come with v6

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
