MakerSource: 2008 Toyota Tacoma Owner's Manual (OM35898U, from Apr. '08 production)

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration. “Tire placard” is the occupants and cargo the tire and loading placard allows, which some makers print instead of, or next to, max payload; it is not the same number.

02 / What changed

New for 2008

The 2008 Tacoma against the 2006, the previous model year we hold. Only what Toyota’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

No retail configuration added or dropped: the 13 sold in the 2006 are all here.
Same range as the 2006: towing and length.

The 2008 documents

1 document behind the 2008 Tacoma’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.

These are Toyota’s published figures for the models it describes, not a weighbridge or a tape measure; your own vehicle’s options change them. Found a figure that doesn’t match the document? Tell us.
