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.

I was gonna say, I work with a guy who has a 4 cylinder that gets the same mileage as my old truck with the 350.....but Chum let you know so I won't say it.

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.

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 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.
