Compact truck shoppers in 2011 will find that their choices have slimmed to a few key models, and many of the offerings from the domestic brands are no longer as competitive as they used to be. The Detroit labels have focused their resources on... A compact truck might be all you want, and since it has nearly the same capabilities as a full-size truck in so many respects, it might be all you need. Though the compact truck market has dwindled, the good news is that the best truck in this class is still alive and kicking. The 2011 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab V6 4x4 provides an excellent balance of size, fuel economy and interior refinement. The general consensus among the Edmunds editors is that the current compact truck market is basically a two-horse race between the Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan Frontier. The Chevrolet Colorado and Dodge Dakota can be ordered with V8 engines, which provide additional towing capacity, but neither truck's interior is as well appointed as the Tacoma's. Performance This 2011 Toyota Tacoma V6 Double Cab 4X4 we tested came with a 4. 0-liter V6 engine that produces 236 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. Source: www.edmunds.com
