The Tacoma has a composite bed, so it's even lighter. And then the Tacoma has a better power-to-weight ratio. 236 HP / 264 ft-lbs out of that 4.0L V6 and 3,910 lbs. Compared to 175 HP / 265 ft-lbs out of that 5.0L V8 and 4,567 lbs.
No snow where I live so I didn't even think about that. Nice truck! I like the pictures, congrats.
