Which Toyota Tacoma generation do you have?

About the Toyota Tacoma
The Toyota Tacoma has been America's best-selling midsize pickup for two decades, and the 2012–2025 span covers three mechanically distinct trucks. 0L 1GR-FE V6 with old-school 4- and 5-speed automatics and a 5,000-mile oil interval. 4B settlement.
5L 2GR-FKS with an Atkinson-capable direct+port injection system, a 6-speed automatic that generated years of shift-quality complaints and TSB reflashes, 0W-20 oil on a 10,000-mile interval, and two early recalls (rear differential leak, crank sensor stalling). 4L i-FORCE turbo four, alone or as the 326-hp i-FORCE MAX hybrid, through an 8-speed automatic whose early failures triggered a warranty TSB and a class action. 2 gal on the 4th gen), a body-on-frame chassis that owners keep well past 200k miles, and heavy owner traffic around oil capacity (it changed every generation), tire sizes that differ by trim, and recall lookups.
