    Going to be doing any hauling?


    My friend had one with the 6.0 he liked it gas guzzler though.

    I heard the 8.1 isn't to bad but it gets better if you open the exhaust up a little.

    GMC is better then chevy IMO

    Yeah, the Tacoma just doesn't have the HP/TQ to tow my boat long distances. It would be whatever I could find Chevy or GMC(I prefer GMC over Chevy as well) The Taco gets the job done and doesn't complaine but struggles when loaded down. My family and I have multiple lake trips planned this summer that are 4 hours or more away, w/ one being 10 hours.

    The 8.1 also comes with the allison trans, will be a better trans for towing.

    It would just depend, it might end up being my DD and it might not. Just depends on what I find, the price, the condition.

    Haha.. of course as long as your bring the drinks.We are going Lake Norris (TN) Labor Day and Lake Norman (NC) in the spring. Then down to Cave Run/Cumberland a few times.

    Well the 8.1 is not going to get good MPG, but it will tow better then the 6.0 obviously. I think the 8.1's have a tranny cooler as well not 100%.

    lol i would go but school ugh :(

    Its a good time, we have about 4 boats combined in my family w/ one being a 32ft pontoon w/ a slide. (PARTY BARGE)

    I have just started looking so nothing def. yet, so we will see what I find. Just didn't know if anyone has experienced either motor/vehical.

    it never hurts to get a new toy to move your other toys better. if you do decide to sell it let me know. my wife wants a SUV, but I would much rather have a 4d truck. she has let it slip a few times that she likes the 4d tacomas.

    Agreed, I just dont know yet if I can trust the reliability. Thats the thing thats really concerning me. The few that I have seen have about 100k so its something I really need to look into. I'll keep you posted, I have to find something and make sure the numbers work first.
