I am looking at a 2010 Toyota Tacoma pickup.
I want extended cab, ac, auto, cruise, and a tow hitch.
The dealer has a 4 cylinder 4x2 unit that interests me. The price is good.
To get to the six cylinder you need to get 4x4.
I tow a small (5x8) open utility trailer sometimes. Usually to get manure from a local farm for my wife's garden or the mulch for the bushes, sometimes furniture or appliances. So nothing heavy and not long distances.
So the question is: Will the 4 cylinder 4x2 be powerful enough?
The specs say: 159 hp @ 5200 rpm for the 4 cylinder and 236 hp @ 5200 rpm for the 6 cylinder.
My current Chevy S10 has a 6 cylinder that specs say develops 180 hp @ 4400 rpm.
Again do I need the 6 cylinder Toyota?
