Two options

2015 Tacoma TSS 4cylinder $26,5000


2013 Tacoma TRD 6cylinder 35k miles $24,000


Both are double cab and I like the look of both but I feel like if im getting a truck it should be at least a 6cylinder, right? Or should I take the brand new 4cylinder for more money.

You want a truck with an engine and 6' of bed space.


If you don't have a 6' bed, what's the point of having a truck?

Same goes for the engine.

They will have the redesigned 2016s out soon. Wait if you can. You would probably be able to get a new 15 with a V6 closer to your price range.

6 if you ever plan on towing anything.

I'd get the four cylinder if you aren't planning on towing anything.

You will get about 5 mpg more with the 4 cylinder.

6 cylinder all the way. Shouldn't even be a question unless you don't plan on using it as a truck.

Wait for the 2016 models to arrive and then get a 2015 with V6.

Toyota's six cylinder is legendary. Absolutely bulletproof.

The 4 cylinders are literally indestructible. If you never tow, get the i4 with the manual.

What are you going to use it for? That's your first question...

Towing - get a 6 cylinder.

If you're not planning to tow anything, get a smart car.

if you never tow, haul, etc..., but why are you buying a truck if you dont use it as a truck. might as well get a honda civic
