Tacoma vs RAV4

If the RAV4's towing capacity is 3500 with the tow package it has, then that's what the engineers have spec'd for it. The only advantage of the Tacoma I could see is that it is heavier than the RAV4 (I would think, but maybe not with the 4 cyl engine), and the wheel base is longer, so the truck may be a little smoother when towing and handle a little better. I don't know these vehicles personally, so perhaps someone else with experience on these two can shed more light.

I would prefer the 6 cyl of the RAV4, but would also prefer the longer wheelbase of the Tacoma for a more stable towing experience. Sorry, not much help ;-)
