• Toyota introduced its first pickup truck in 1964, called the Stout. The Stout was replaced in 1969 by the Hi-lux pickup. The Hi-lux name remained until 1976 when, just the name, was eliminated in the U.S. market, but remains in all other markets around the world. From 1976 through 1995 the Toyota truck was simply named, Toyota Pickup. In mid-1995 Toyota changed the name to the Tacoma, and the Tacoma remains as of 2010.
