Those motors will freakin scream. That's why you need a manual transmission. Automatics will make those engines feel like turds if you're towing anything.
I had a V6 4x4 nissan frontier with an automatic in highschool. The automatic killed that truck. It couldn't pull shite because the tranny refused to let it rev like it wanted to. Despite what people want to think, reving an engine doesn't hurt your fuel economy if you aren't raw dogging it. It actually helps with a load on the engine. It's also MUCH better for the longevity of the motor.
ETA: My buddy's V6 tacoma would pull circles around my truck because he had a 5 speed and let the engine do what it wanted to do.
