Yeah, it's a 2WD, and the guy was actually a friend of mine. So I know the truck is an auto! Well shucks, now where did my mod money go?

QC weighs about 4500 empty (just a guess, you didn't say 4x4 or 2WD), plus
probably 1200 pounds of people. That Tacoma probably had 1/2-3/4 ton advantage
on you. Fair guess he's got a stick and a rear end that makes the 4-banger
accelerate almost decently.
