The Tacoma is a midsize by any measure.
We have a good selection of 4/5 cylinder diesels around 3 litre capacity from Toyota, Nissan, Holden, Isuzu, Mazda, VW , all engines are very modern and sophisticated and have been designed from the ground up to deal with emissions and I doubt that our regulations would be any lower standard than yours. They all perform very well are very economical both running around and towing especially coupled to modern electronic controlled auto transmissions. Our 2.8 litre Colorado tows our 2.2 tonne caravan very comfortably with auto pilot set it holds the set speed up hills and ranges with little fuss. As well they are all very capable 4WD's and come equipped with traction control and trailer anti sway electronically controlled through the ABS brakes as well as so many other sensors to help with parking and deviating from your lane. Won't be long now before we won't have to drive the cars just sit there.
