I like manuals because they seem to last longer and are just more durable. I'm sure though the Toyota Automatics are tough.

I'm moving on the 2wd access cab 5sp. For Gulf States (includes TX) they all come with the SR5 pkg. #2. With a drop hitch the retail is $19,940. Several fleet managers have been willing to go $18,750, which is supposedly $300 over invoice plus holdback, etc. I don't know about the 4x4. Seems steep, but the 'build a Tacoma' section of Toyota's website shows the 4x4 to be $4k more retail. Thus the discount from a fleet manager might be a couple grand, probably less. Build the truck at the website and look at the details, it will tell you what's on it and so forth. I know the 2wd doesn't have those big trim pieces or overfenders or whatever they're called. The Prerunner's and TRD's have them as well as probably the 4x4.

Any feedback on a four-cylinder stick vs. auto?
The 4x4 4 cylinder is only available with a stick so you must be getting the 2WD. You'll get better performance and slightly higher mileage with the stick. What I can't figure out is why they put the 6 speed in the 6 cylinder when it is the smaller engine that would really benefit from it -

Yes. He is refering to model 7113 (5-sp manual) vs. 7114 (4-sp auto) 2WD Access Cab (non-PreRunner).

Default New 4-cylinder engine

After reading the features of both 4 and 6 cylinders, I feel that 4-cylinder is an excellent design IMO better than the 6.

Default 2001 Tacoma 4x4- auto or 5 speed??

Hi,

I'm looking for a '01 Tacoma Xtracab V6 4x4 TRD, but I can't decide between automatic and 5 speed, and can't find them around here to test drive (most are 60-200 miles from me). I can see the benefits of both, but would really like to hear feedback from those with experience with both automatic and 5 speed...

Thank you very much!

I have had 3 Tacoma's. 2 99's, and 1 2001. One was auto. I liked the 5 speeds better since they were quicker, and more fun to drive.

Default auto?

from personal experience, if you want to drive in the sand, auto is waaaaay quicker. Doesn't bog on the the shifts. Racing in the sand, my friend had the same truck but supercharged, smoked him every time

Default 5 speed auto question

My 05 pre runner Sport has the five speed auto.

It's different than any other autos I have had.

When you put it into D and drive, it goes threw all the gears.

While driving in D if you pull the shifter sideways it shifts down.

Also if you pull the shifter down to low it looks like you can do the same thing, change gears by pulling it sideways..

I looked in the manual and it explains it but I don't understand it.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can explain how it works.

Thats because you are down shifting. In "D" you make use of all 5 gears, in "4" you only use the first 4 in "3" only the first 3. Get it! If your driving along say going 60 mph and shift from "D" to "4" you will shift the tranny from 5th to 4th because you have eliminated the top gear. You'll also notice your rpms will go up. I wouldn't manually shift an automatic though its not good for the tranny.

I have the 5 speed auto v6 also. When you shift to D you are in 5th gear or overdrive. slide to the left to 4th gear back to 3rd, 2nd then low or 1st gear. Use D for speeds maintained over 40 mph othewise use 4th gear for city driving under 40 mph. hope this helps.
