    No. Prerunner...But I think the Double Cabs sell higher. Not a bad truck of course, but I think you might be able to find one that has been treated nicer

    Quick question -

    How are the 4cyl x-cabs with automatics?

    When I was looking around for a truck it had to be automatic (wife) and sorta looked at the 4cyl auto Taco's but was worried that the truck would be way underpowered with an auto vs a V6. Do they handle it okay even with a slight lift and say 32" tires?

    My 85' Yota did alright on 33" Mtr's but it was a manual. I could only get around 18 mpg's though and that was mostly freeway. I figured may as well have a V6.

    I'd probably say no...
    I drove a totally stock 2.4 Xtracab with an auto when I was looking. It was a total dog.
    I don't know any details about it, but if it were geared right, you could probably pull it off.

    yeah looks like the truck has been used alot for only 125,000, price may be a lil high but regardless it should be soild, i would definatly do more research into its backround
