BWalker;
Thanks for the reply.

I see that the 4 cylinder is 782lbs while the 6 is 1150lbs, which would indeed make a difference in a lighter truck.

Frankly there are a lot of times in the bush where the weight and torque of the 6 in our '03 is tough to control.

It will spin out at the slightest provocation and when the logging roads get icy the thing does a wonderful imitation of something a Slavic bobsled team would be proud to pilot! eek

Depending upon how stiffly it's sprung, that Toyota might make the ultimate bush rig as far as a balance of power and economy goes.

Thanks again for the dream fodder and all the best to you.

Regards,
Dwayne
