Toyota Tacoma
Because of high fuel costs, Toyota added a 159 horsepower four-cylinder (2.7 litres) to its compact Tacoma truck with Access cab (extended) and short box. It can be fitted with an all-wheel drive system. Otherwise, it is powered by a 236 horsepower 4.0-litre V6 engine, which offers a maximum towing capacity of 2,268 kilos. Warning: the benefits of an excellent resale value might be lost with the addition of a host of options that make the bill swell fast…
