The 2.4 only comes in the two wheel drive version. In my opinion both of these engines are underpowered if mated to the automatic in the extended cab. I would go with the 5 speed for better performance. I like the 3.4 liter V6 in my extended cab. Check out the specs here.

No, htere is Tacoma "std" standard cab.

The the extra cab, the Tundra is an access cab. The 4 door Tacoma is a double cab.

2.4 is in all the 2 WD's except Prerunners, and the 2.7 was an option, but I have never seen a 2WD with the 2.7 that wanst a prerunner. The 2.7 is found on the prerunner and all 4WD Tacomas. The 2.4 was rated for 142HP, the 2.7 is 150/

Yes, and 190 HP

Tacoma 4 cylinder is 3500, the 2WD may be less. The V6 can be 5000 as long as your fan cluitch hub is green and not red or orange.
