    Oh, and the 4 banger has a timing chain vs the 6's timing belt. 4 cyl has less lifetime mant too. Stock plugs and wires till 100,000mi! I have comfortably pulled heavy trailers. never weighed them though. guess is at least 3,000lb comfortably.

    Yip yip. I know AndrewFalk has a 5 lug, but his MPGs are amazing. Not complaining as I get pretty good mileage around town, I am just a bit surprised by the HWY miles (worse than city driving unless I go 65 or less on the Interstate).

    If you get the 6, test drive for sure, especially on uphill or from a dead stop. Make sure it doesn't have the take off to 25 mph vibration (auto or manual). Toyota is reluctant to do anything about the prob. 4 banger with Access cab sounds like a good match up unless you have to have the additional power.
