Toyota Tacoma
If you are looking for a solid package that has a great off-road capability and payload capacity, then the Toyota Tacoma is definitely worth considering. However, do keep in mind that it can’t quite match the capabilities, interior features, or overall performance of many of its competitors. The ruggedly handsome looks of the Tacoma and the available off-road gear it has almost redeem the so-so fuel economy and tight interior of the vehicle. The standard engine of choice is a 2.7L four-cylinder that makes 180 lb-ft of torque and it is paired with either a manual that is five-speed or an automatic that is six-speed; there is an optional 3.5-liter V-6 (265 lb-ft) that mates to either a six-speed manual or automatic. If it is properly equipped, as much as 6800 lb can be towed by the V-6. For serious adventurers, a heavy-duty suspension and appearance upgrades can be added by a TRD Pro trim.

Ford F-250 Super Duty
The F-250 Super Duty is a lot like the F-150 but the F-250 is larger and is a beast at towing. Heavy-duty use was definitely in mind when this car was designed and it shows in every component on this truck, from its frame to the lineup of engines which can handle the extra load day to day. From the start, these trucks were more or less required to have the ability to reach rather high mileage, so it’s not surprising that you will find a number of these trucks which have clocks showing over 250,000 miles.
