    Probie here, I'm looking at buying my first Tacoma and I have a few questions. I've decided that I want a PreRunner and that's pretty much it. I think a 4 cyl. is prob the best engine for me as I will never be hauling anything but the V6 does feel pretty peppy and fun.

    THe ideal truck for me would be a 4 cyl access cab PreRunner but every dealer I go to says that this truck doesn't exist anymore.

    So my options are the 4 cyl DC or the V6 Access.

    My main concerns are reliability and gas mileage.

    I have gotten a quote for a 4 cyl DC PR for $23k with the convenience pkg and change and about $2k more for the V6 w/ Sr5.

    Any insight anyone might have would be greatly appreciated and would help put my mind at ease!

    Tl;dr - I need help deciding on my first Tacoma purchase
