Whichever one you'd like. Either camper is well within the handling
capability of any Toyota truck available.

OK... I'm not real "up" on Toyota truck line up

I really do not feel I need four wheel drive

Is it possible to get a decent two wheel drive unit
with towing package and all?

What models should I go look at this weekend?

Unless you're fixin' to drive in some miserable road conditions, you're
right about the 4WD.

Anything from the Tacoma line will be fine. Tundras are decent too but
larger and pricier. The 2.4L / 2.7L 4-cyl are perfectly adequate but some
drivers prefer the "pep" of the V6. Drive one of each and see.

AFAIK the 4-cyl manual transmissions don't have a "tow package" but tow
capacity is 3500 lbs with this setup. Unless you are getting an automatic
and plan to tow at close to this limit it's probably not needed.

After this it really comes down to cab size and features.
