    Great choice! That truck will last longer than you want it to. The 2.7 rocks when all my buddies make fun of my 4 banger I ask them if they want to go wheeling with there super cool rams with the big ass hemi and they all shut up. I do more with a 2.7 than most people do with v8s. Post a picture of your clean truck.

    The thought enters my mind on occasion to trade mine in for a 2.7. Actually, the opposite of OPs thoughts.

    I just like being different. Edited to add, in my mind the quintessential Tacoma is a 4 banger.

    When I was in my mid 20's, I had the hots for a new Jeep Grand Cherokee. It was 20k. A lot of money back in 1986.

    After only a few months I ended up hating that vehicle and traded it on a new Toyota truck reg cab 4x4 four banger.

    They gave me 15k for the Jeep. The Toyota was 10K. I financed the neg equity. So I had a 15K loan on a 10K truck. But I was happy. My payments went down from 400 to 300.

    I loved that Toyota. It had vinyl bench seat. Vinyl floor. 4speed. Manual locking hubs. And it was bulletproof.

    My point...life is short. Happiness is golden. Within reason of course. Btw, I learned a valuable lesson and never found myself in a negative equity position again.
