I am set for a new pickup and will go with a 4wd Toyota. But I need help with Tundra or Tacoma. I have owned both over the years and presently have an '06 2wd base cab V6 Tundra and an '05 2wd V8 CrewMax. The issues are the need for a 4wd truck and the fact I am getting older --63.
It's basically a general purpose vehicle but at times I pull 6500 lbs on a trailer and need the 4wd to help out.
The wife likes the bigger Tundra and the safety such size and airbags affords. It can tow 10,000 lbs but the milage is not good at 13-17. The Tacoma can get 20 mpg with the V6 but is much smaller yet still tow 6600 lbs.
Is there anyone here that bought one and wished they bought the other or has any commentary on either one? I am in a quandry and could use a little feedback.
