The Toyota Tacoma X-Runner was a stylish, sporty truck with an emphasis on handling. It even had a manual transmission.
To achieve this, Toyota fitted an X brace , stiffer springs and shocks that lowered it by 0.6 inch and a rear anti-roll bar. Its 255-mm Bridgestone Potenza tires, the widest available on a Tacoma of that generation, didn't hurt either.
We already mentioned that it came with a six-speed and a limited-slip differential, which improve the fun factor, but we haven't touched on the engine. It's a 4.0-liter V6 that makes 236 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. That's a solid improvement over the 195-horsepower 3.4-liter engine of the S-Runner, though it's not any different than any other V6 Tacoma of the era. Still, a 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds isn't too shabby.
