Toyota T100 Overview

Early advertising and promotional efforts proclaimed the T100 to be Toyota's entry into the full-size or "big" truck arena. The T100 has a 121.8-inch wheelbase, 209.1-inch overall length and an eight-foot cargo bed. While that represents a substantial step up from a compact truck, a big rig it ain't. Instead, the T100 finds itself competing with popular midsize domestics such as the Ford Ranger, the new Chevy S-Series and its GMC counterparts, and the increasingly popular Dodge Dakota.

Base retail price for our T100 SR5 test model was $18,168, which places it on the high end of other midsize truck offerings. Ours was loaded with creature Pleasers such as automatic temperature control air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo with tape and CD players, and power windows and door locks for a substantial bottom line of $23,715.
