Hello Toyota Truck Sages,

please help me with what I think will be a simple question. I am looking to buy a 4x4 or Tacoma manual, 4 cylinder extra cab. WITH power package, windows, locks etc. Have found plenty beautiful examples meeting most of this criteria but usually if it has power package its a V6, and I don't need a large engine/want to save money on gas. I found one 4cyl 95 Tacoma with power package but single cab.

The question is: Is this just a configuration problem? were 4cyls not sold with power package? Please advise. Maybe there's a year I need to be looking for in particular?

Much appreciated

 

I don't know about power packages but I seriously doubt my 4 cylinder Tacoma gets better gas mileage than a 6 cylinder. It's not impressively better than my 7.3 liter diesel pickup.

 

V6 Tacomas with the 5vzfe can get 18mph, even in the low 20s if they're highway driven. Shoot, I get 13.5 in mine running a full tank in low range up in the hills. It hasn't even seen more than a 5 mile stretch of highway since I put the engine in but I have no doubt I could add 5-6 mpg over mountain driving.

I believe the SR5 models from 89-95 could be had withe the 22R and power options. My 93 base model pickup V6 does not have a power package, but my 95 4runner SR5 does, though it is also a V6.
