I took one for a test drive last weekend and it was dreamy! lol. It rode better than I had expected; it was really quite a smooth ride. The back seats(looking at the double cab 4x4 V6 with short bed) were spacious enough to accommodate for me(6' tall) as well. The mileage with the V6 is nothing to brag about, but I do want to make sure I get as good as I can with it. I am the type that drives nothing but manuals, so I am definitely looking at the 6M.

The Tacoma is nice. My grandpa has a '06 Hilux, which is its overseas equivalent, but it's fitted with a 4-pot turbodiesel and a 4-speed slushbox.
Regarding the V6, it may eventually not get so disadvantaged mileage-wise compared to a 4-pot, since it would have more torque at lower RPM
