The Toyota T100 is a full-size pickup truck introduced by Toyota in 1993 to compete with American-made Ford F-150, Dodge Ram, and Chevrolet Silverado. When it was introduced it only available as a regular cab. This continued until 1995, when an Xtra Cab model was introduced along with a 3.4 L V6 as opposed to the former 3.0 L V6. 3 trims were offered: the base model, the Dx, and the top-of-the-range SR5. The maximum towing capacity was 5200 lb (2360 kg), but consumers wanted a V8. The T100 was sometimes considered too small, despite being bigger than Toyota's other truck, the Tacoma. Though the T100 is considered a standard size pickup, it did have problems. The truck was made in Japan and experienced import tariffs in the US. Also, since it was not a V8 sales were not what Toyota expected, but it sold fair numbers.
The T100 was discontinued in 1998 and was replaced with the Tundra.
