Yes, I've got the Tacoma V6 on my spread sheet, and it does look nice.
But for some reason the 4x2 only goes to 3500# towing capacity. So it's a 4x4 that I need and the additional cost associated with that. The way they have it packaged, I would have to spend $5000 more than the GMC 4x2 to get up to #5000 towing capacity.
But who knows. The wife is wondering whether a 4x4 pickup is better in the winter. My understanding is that it would be better in low speed, low traction situations like deep snow, steep driveway, or in the ditch. But when hitting black ice at highway speeds, it's no help at all. It's not a high speed, "on-all-the-time" four wheel drive like the suburu, audi or bmw, but more of an off-the-road, slow speed, on-demand sort of thing.
But I could be wrong, the whole business is confusing with every manufacturer using different names for the same product, and/or the same names for wildly different capabilities.
