Hey Chum.....
 

you got a toyota tacoma right? 4 or 6 cylinder? and do you think a 4 cylinder would tow the V?

Yes. I have an '04 Tacoma with V6 and Auto.
The V6 has enough nuts to tow the V20. I don't believe the 4 is enough though IMO.
Do a little research and you'll find that the V6 automatic gets as good or slightly better gas mileage as the 4 cyl standard shift. It was a no-brainer for me when I was looking. My mileage range is 19-21 mpg.

well i am selling my jeep. if anyone wants it. and looking for a 1990-2002 toyota tacoma V6 SR5 ext cab 5 speed. and i dont want to spend more that $6000. they are out there, but it is like finding a needle in a haystack.:head: dont care about mileage as long as it is under 150K.

Good trucks Cy, had the tacoma TRD like you are describing in the V6 with auto. The four will do it but work too hard and the mileage will suffer. The four will get better mileage with the five speed though than the V6's with either the manual or auto. If towing was not the issue or carrying any heavy loads and mileage was paramount that combo with the four and five speed is tough to beat.

I miss my old JEEP COMANCHE pick-up. It used to get me 21-22 MPG on the highway running 70-75 with the air on. And when I slowed it down to 55 it would get mid to upper 20's, 28 was my best with a tail wind. Not bad for a 4.0L straight 6, that 5 speed really helped out.

well i only tow the boat once maybe twice a week 6 miles round trip on flat ground to the ramp. will the 4 cyl handle that? or work it too hard?

i used to have a 90 V6 SR5 5 speed but I was a dumb :cen: and sold it 5 years ago. now i want one back.

ok lemmee get in on this because i'm looking at the avalanche.
i just found out the tacoma comes in a 4 door.
does it pull the V with no problem?
in other words if i step up at some point to a 24 footer will it pull it?
i need the 4 doors and something to pull the V and more.

i just realized how close i am to 2,000 posts.

once i get there i'm gonna travel all over the country and kick all yer asses.

I definately could use a good azz kicking. When you're done with me, I'd like to get in on MJ's azz kicking.
I think something in the 24' range will start to seriously push the limits of a Tacoma.
