The Volkswagen Taro, produced from 1989 to 1997, was a compact pickup truck that represented a unique collaboration between Volkswagen and the Japanese automaker, Isuzu. This partnership resulted in a vehicle that shared its underpinnings with the Isuzu Faster, offering a robust and reliable platform to the European market. While Volkswagen was known for its passenger cars, the Taro aimed to tap into the burgeoning pickup truck segment, providing a functional and practical vehicle for various tasks. The Taro was available in single and double cab configurations, offering a choice between a 2.0-liter diesel engine or a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, depending on the market. It was marketed as a capable and durable truck, catering to professionals and individuals seeking a reliable workhorse or a versatile recreational vehicle. This blend of Japanese engineering and German design allowed the Taro to stand out in a crowded market, offering a unique blend of features and capabilities.

Despite its solid mechanical foundation and reliable performance, the Volkswagen Taro was overshadowed by the popularity of its Japanese counterpart, the Isuzu Faster. The Taro's European market presence was limited, with its production ending in 1997. Its short lifespan and limited sales numbers have made the Taro a relatively uncommon sight, especially in its home market. However, its functional design and robust engineering have earned it a dedicated following among those seeking a reliable and affordable pickup truck. The Taro's legacy lives on in the hearts of owners who appreciate its ruggedness and straightforward nature, along with its unique position in the Volkswagen lineup. This makes the 1989-1997 Factory Service Repair Manual a valuable resource for anyone seeking to maintain and repair their Volkswagen Taro, ensuring its longevity and continued use.
