Also - I'm of two minds about going with a four vs six cylinder Taco...thinking of the smaller engine as perhaps more "bullet proof," and easier to work on/rebuild - but otherwise everything and everybody keeps pointing to the six as way more useful/practical.

Comments? Thanks!
Owned Toyotas forever, I’d get the six, you can haul a dskh and 6 fighters up a mountain ( kidding). Seriously other than brakes, wheel bearings not much goes wrong.
Well engineered, easy to work on. Might just need something like a blue driver to reset abs, traction et after a brake bleed if you go with newer models.
