    4cy 4X4 is hard combination to find. All the 4X4 I've seen was V6. Good luck finding one new or used.

    I actually havent had any problems finding any around here, here's the quotes that the dealer gave me.

    Hi Nate, Thank you for speaking with me today. MSRP on the Access Cab 4x4 MT V6 Off Road is $29,784, your price is $25,600 with the rebate (I quoted you on the phone on an Auto tranny, didn't realize until you said it, that you perfer Manual, so this is about 1k cheaper for you).
    MSRP on the SL (SR5) package is $25,169, your price is $21,519 with the rebate. I can secure either of these vehicles with a credit card deposit.
    We look forward to hearing back from you!

    I thought you wanted a 4cyl? The V6 is much easier to find. I think that's a good deal!

    I do want the 4 cyl but I was curious how much more it'd be for the v6. As hot as that truck is theres alot of stuff on it that I just dont need.

    As a rule for me, its better to have and not need it than not have it when you need it.

    and normally I agree with that too, but when theres alot more expenses involved for something I wont use then whats the point? The truck does have a LSD it is a 4x4 and will handle any situation I will throw at it, beaches, and snow. and it will still be great on gas as long as I dont hammer it and use the cruise control.
