Toyota Light Trucks have gained popularity over the years as an affordable and dependable option
for everyday driving and light hauling. Currently Toyota offers the Tacoma and the Tundra. Both of these light trucks can be used to haul goods, trailers or even boats. Optional packages to jazz up a Tacoma or Tundra are TRD Rugged Trail Off-Road Package with Baja alloy wheels, a towing package, fog lights and bucket seats just to name a few.
Since Toyota light trucks sit higher than a regular car, drivers get a better view of the road allowing for better visibility, especially when driving at night or in a bad weather conditions. This improved visibility can help deter accidents because drivers can see better and avoid an accident.

The Toyota Tundra is assembled at two different locations in the US. The double and standard Cabs are assembled in the Truck Country at San Antonio and the new Crew max is assembled in Gibson County, Indiana.
