I have a 16 1/2' aluminum fishing boat with a 40 hp outboard. How small a truck can I tow this with? I'm looking at a Tacoma, 2.4L 4 cylinder, 2WD but wondering if I should look at the 6 cylinder instead.

Thanks.

Its the weight of the boat that matters more then the size. I'm guessing your boat is less then 2K. You should be fine with the four cylinder, although a six cylinder will tow better on hills or if you'll be towing long distances.
