2009 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner V6

The sporty 2009 Toyota Tacoma X-Runner V6 comes with several unique features, including special aerodynamic lower body trim with color-matched bumpers, a lowered sport suspension, and 18-inch alloy wheels. A six-speed manual is the only available transmission for its 4.0-liter V6, however traction control, a limited-slip differential, and skid plates are still included. Additional visual cues include rear privacy glass with a sliding rear window, foglights, and power color-matched mirrors. The tilt and telescoping steering wheel is leather-wrapped and comes with radio controls for the upgraded 7-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 player with digital media connection. Front bucket and rear jump seats come with cloth upholstery. The driver’s seat has lumbar adjustment, and the front passenger seat folds flat. Power windows and doors join cruise control, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, a rearview camera, and an automatic day/night rearview mirror as part of the convenience features. Further convenience comes from a center console, tachometer, tire pressure monitor, bedliner, variable-intermittent wipers, and a 115-volt power outlet. Safety features include antilock brakes with brake assist and anti-skid, dual front, front side, and curtain side airbags, as well as front-seat active head restraints and a theft-deterrent system.
