"The latest Honda Ridgeline is available with AWD, but I don't believe it
has the towing capacity you might want, and it is not a separate
frame/body pickup. But it is very comfy and carlike on the interior and
in the ride."



A 5k tow rating should be just enough to tow a 4000 lb trailer.....especially if it's only occasionally tows like we'd do up here.
As far as the Tacoma....it would be my choice of truck if only the cab was higher. From what Consumer Reports used to say...it has the same low seat design as the old Ford Ranger. Maybe a good design to help with gas mileage but I'd want to sit up in a seat not inches off the floor and I don't have long legs.
