2006 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab PreRunner V6 4dr Access Cab SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Your best bet!
 Highly recommended. After owning 3 Chevrolets, a Nissan, and a Mitsubishi, I can say that the Toyota takes the cake.  This truck is meant to be a truck. It doesn't have all the frilly features you will find on other brands, but you won't need them, trust me.  You are buying a truck.   The ride is sturdy, noise kept to a minimum, the seats are comfortable and both front and rear seats have ample leg and headroom.   If you are considering a pickup, Tacoma will satisfy your needs even if you are hunting a full-size. I wouldn't recommend it for towing anything over 5,000 lbs, though. It can handle the PULL, it's the stopping that becomes tough.  This is my first non 4x4, and I can say so far so good.
