If it's anything like my 2011 Nissan Frontier, then the 5-speed will wake up the 4 banger just fine. I'm still surprised how quick my truck is because the 5-speed lets you wring the gears out a bit more. I would expect a slushbox on the 4 cylinder of either truck would make it pretty slow.
That being said, consider the Frontier. I've been blown away with it over 3 years, it's the smoothest manual transmission I've ever driven, feels sturdy, drives great, comfortable. Turns like a fat pig because the steering stops are poorly designed. I was a true blue Toyota guy for many many years, I wouldn't pick a Taco over this.
