> $1500 turbo > Probably gets better fuel economy The latter claim is very subjective, so I'm not sure what to do with that. But a 2mpg difference in fuel economy (eg. 22 mog vs 24 mpg) at $5/gal fuel prices saves about $3000 over 150k miles. Assuming a 100% chance of replacement at 150k miles, it's still more economical to go with the turbo. And in practice a base turbo-4 ranger is already $3k less MSRP than a base V6 Tacoma. But beyond economics, the turbo-4 is better day to day than the competing 6. More hp, more torque. More towing capability. It seems to me like there's a lot of FUD at work here, which is OPs original point.
