does anyone know if swapping out the 6 speed for an auto in an 06 taco is possible? I am hoping it is not too difficult.

Might be better off just seeing if someone would trade you trucks, rather than swapping transmissions.

Doesn't sound easy or cost effective.

The 6 speed are bad ass! It took me 6 months to get the shifting down right but once you do it rides like a snowboard on fresh powder..
