I think they were called hardbodies for the construction... There was a 7000. Later there was the King Cab and I think an XE. I don't think they actually named them them till recent years. Don't quote me!!! They were all just a small pickup. They named them when they started the full size pickup line.

Yup, stupid as it sounds, I'm *pretty sure* they didn't have a name. <_<

Burtgtp, you were right, oops! I locked in on Nissan. The Toyota is alot the same though. They only had a couple names till the mid 90's.

Hilux - '79 - '83
Pickup/4Runner - '84 - '94
Tacoma - '95

The only other names they've had were:

RAV4
Sequoia
Sienna
Tacoma
Highlander
Tundra
Land Cruiser
4Runner

They did have and "XTRA Cab" on their pickups for the extended cab version.

Didn't they used to call some of them pre-runners? They where supposed to copy the desert race trucks.

Pre-Runner? I remember hearing that, but I'm not sure it was actually a name. I could be wrong. Now I'm curious!!!
