Thanks, Sandy:  Today, a different dealer contradicted the claim.  This
different dealer said the Tacoma 4-cylinder had 3,500 lbs towing capacity,
the V6, 5,000 lbs:  Correct or no, this seems to make more sense.  I would
think, with the M17, I would want the V6.  --Craig

I'm not an expert on Toyotas but it's possible that the 4 cyl has the same
torque as the 6. Toyota's 6 has a bad rep for torque. It's a high revving
motor that doesn't like being lugged. It develops it's HP at higher RPM's.
The 4 has a longer stroke and develops torque at lower RPM's. The dealer
should have engine specs to see before buying.
