Toyota T100
The T100 was Toyota's first larger pickup, sized between a compact and a domestic full-size truck. It's best known for the 1995 introduction of the desirable 3.4L V6 engine, which corrected its initial lack of power and is now the enthusiast's choice.

The Toyota T100 was the company's first attempt at a larger pickup for the North American market, slotting between its own compact truck and domestic full-size models. When it debuted in 1993, its sole engine was a 3.0L V6 that was quickly deemed underpowered for the truck's size. Toyota corrected this in 1995 by introducing the excellent 3.4L 5VZ-FE V6, which transformed the T100's performance and is now the engine of choice for enthusiasts. Production ended in 1998 to make way for the true full-size Tundra.
Collectors appreciate the T100 for its legendary Toyota durability, simple design, and unique place in truck history. It's a reliable, easy-to-maintain pickup that's more maneuverable than a contemporary F-150 but more capable than a Tacoma. The most desirable configuration is an SR5 Xtracab 4x4 equipped with the 3.4L V6 and a 5-speed manual transmission. Its relative scarcity compared to other Toyota trucks adds to its appeal.
The market for T100s is strong, particularly for clean, low-mileage survivors. What was once just an old work truck is now a recognized classic, with an average sale price over $15,000. While rough examples can still be found cheaply, pristine trucks have sold for close to $40,000, proving that buyers are willing to pay a premium for the best of this 'tweener' generation.
Buying Tips
- Frame rust is the number one issue. Inspect the frame rails thoroughly, especially near the rear leaf spring hangers and fuel tank, paying close attention to any scaling or flaking.
- The 3.4L V6 is the most desirable engine. Ensure its timing belt and water pump have been replaced every 90,000 miles; if there's no record, assume it's due.
- Ball joints, particularly the lower ones, are a known wear item. Check for play in the front wheels and listen for clunking noises over bumps during the test drive.
- On 4x4 models, confirm the four-wheel-drive system engages smoothly in both 4-High and 4-Low. The automatic disconnecting differential (A.D.D.) can sometimes fail due to vacuum line or actuator issues.
Prices for the Toyota T100 range from $909 for project trucks to $39,000 for exceptional, low-mileage examples.
