No 6 speed available in the 4 wheel drive was really weird to me..it would be def desirable offroad. you could get the 4 cyl truck with a 5 speed, but I have a few trailers to pull, sooo...
Recap: 4.0 6 cyl is auto only, unless you buy the little Xrunner. :/

not true, I have a 4.0 v6 SR5 and it's 6 speed, and it's not special order or anything. I've seen many v6 tacos with a 6 speed. I've seen it only in an extended cab or a double cab short bed (DCSB) and it's not offered in a double cab long bed (DCLB)
I think my 6speed taco has EPA estimates of 15/19 while the auto is 16/21
The 6speed is geared really short, at 70mpg I'm at 2500RPM
Here's the history of my fuel logs over a 6 year span

I am a part of Tacomaworld.com and I've seen an auto's dash on the freeway and at 65mph I think it hovers @around 2000rpm or so
