Have I not sufficiently prostated myself (allegorically, of course)
to the list? I beg your forgiveness for the brain slip, Oh Mighty
Craig.

Maybe so, but two facts remain which you conveniently ignore:
1. The Tacoma/T-100 V6 was new in trucks for the '95 model year,
setting a red flag off in my mind.
2. The torque curve for this wonderful 195hp V6 was definitely in
the upper RPM range, making the power essentially worthless for those
of us who actually use our trucks as trucks.
So if you want to take me to task for slagging the Toyota, at least
have the wit to stick to the meat of my argument.
