I'm not so concerned about dirt, but snow. I know first-hand how light in the ass pickups are. My old truck, a '94 Chevy K1500 (4WD) with a 305, would get loose real easy in anything over a few inches- even with sandbags in the bed. That's why I wanted 4WD. 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.
