2006 Toyota Tacoma Front

Toyota's little truck ain't so little anymore. Having grown in every dimension last year, it now packs more power at every level, with a class-leading 2.7-liter 4 (159 HP) and a competitive 4.0-liter V6 (236 HP), the latter getting a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual. Regular Cab, Access Cab, and Double Cab models and a few bed lengths make for plenty of choices. Tacomas can now tow up to 6,500 pounds.
