Talking Tacomas/superchargers! advice

alrighty.... so i decided to sell my truck. I have a 94 pickup v6 5spd xcab.... i like it, but ive been having a few problems with it and i am going to be moving down to cali. well this truck doesnt have a/c and i know cali isnt THAT hot, but ive lived in az for 20 yrs, and i know when i need it.... yadda yadda... well heres my dilemma

I want a newer taco cause i dont think i can live w/out a truck. And i dig the toys! I have to have to v6 and i really wanted it to be supercharged. I have a lot of questions about this, all knowledge and advice is welcome. I went on the toyota website but i couldnt find the s/c option. I like the quad cabs but they dont make quads in a std... but i suppose i could just go auto.
I did see a xcab std s/c 4x4 that was pretty nice. Is that basically my only option? Ill be towing boats and jet skis with this truck, so thats why i want the 6, and i like fast, hence the s/c! is it bad to tow with a std though? Do you think a better option would be to buy one w/out a s/c and add it on later? would that be cheaper, cause this isnt going to just be pocket change for me
!

This is a pretty unorganized thread but im kinda out in the blue considering all the options. Hopefully you toyota guru's out there can help me out. If theres any questions let me know? Thanks guys!



well crap.... after doing a little research, its lookoing like a turbo would be a better bet. That would lessen the cost of the truck initially and then i can just add it on myself.... sorry bout the confusion guys, what do you think between the two

turbo vs. s/c

I'd say it depends on what you plan on doing w/ the truck...it's fine to tow w/ a standard...I do it all the time...jet skis at least...never towed a boat...anyways as for the s/c...if you get the v-6, I say go for it...whether you buy it as part of the truck or afterwards is up to you...right now the lowest I've seen them for is $1805 shipped (lower 48 states)...if you do s/c you're gonna need fuel mods of some sort...this guy Gadget has done a lot w/ the v-6 engine and he knows A LOT.... check out his site... gadgetonline.com It should answer a lot of questions but if you have any others, he's more than happy to answer if he can....he's also got a 800hp twin-turbo'd 4-runner that's badass
