The first generation of Toyota Tacoma was introduced for the 1995 model year. Although related to the Toyota Hilux, the Tacoma was originally developed to be specific to the US and Canadian markets, and as such, featured greater emphasis on ride comfort and quality as opposed to other markets. Regular Cab (2 doors), Xtracab (2 doors), and Double Cab (4 doors) versions were offered for the 1st Gen Tacoma, as were rear wheel drive and four wheel drive configurations. Three engine options were available: a 2.4L I4 (2RZ-FE), a 2.7L I4 (3RZ-FE), and a 3.4L V6 (5VZ-FE). Regardless of engine or drivetype, manual and automatic transmissions were available. A wide range of variants were built, including the PreRunner, S-Runner, and SR5. Production of the 1st Gen Toyota Tacoma ended in 2004, before it was replaced by the 2nd Gen Tacoma.
