I'm kinda looking at one, but I don't see any need for the 5.7 liter
engine for my purposes. The regular cab models, though, aren't that
appealing to be because there's really no inside storage without the
back seats the extended cab models offer.



I live on a fairly narrow city street with sidewalks and parking on
both sides.
We have seniors roaming around with walkers/rollators, dog walkers,
young people etc passing by on a regular basis.
My towing needs are very light but I need a shorter vehicle for
maneuverability and superior all around visibility for regular use.

My next vehicle (March 2009) will probably be the Toyota Rav4 with the
4 cylinder auto. I can always get a light utility trailer for hauling
bulky stuff.
Then again, if I move to a bigger boat...I may get the 6 cyl.



Yeah, I can dig that. I just loke the extra space inside of the bigger
cab, and the smaller V8 seems more than adequate to me. It's the engine
I had in the last Tundra I had, and the engine in my 4Runner.



Adequacy? Did you ever consider that a larger engine will offer better
fuel economy *and* better performance at the same time? Of course not.
