Looking for a Toyota Truck

I need a toyota truck but I can't decide between a used tacoma or used tundra. I need something large enough for 4 medium-sized adults with a large(~6ft) bed. I would like at least a 5,000lb towing capacity for a trailer we put motorcycles in. I don't need 4WD, but some kind of limited slip diff would be nice. I would primarily be using the truck for towing.

My budget is about $15,000..

Any advice?

Your Sig looks a lot like mine. I just bought an 08 Taco. I look at 05 and up used. and used they are going for 22k with the stuff you want.
IDK what he older gen is going for but Toyotas hold there value.
Anyway I ride
07 Yamaha FZ1 Street
05 Yamaha R6 Track.
and still wating ti pick up a little dirtbike to mess around on and teach the G/F how to ride.

you probably won't find a toyota truck for $15k unless it's about 7 years old. these things hold their value pretty well.... You'll need to look into the previous generation taco....which are GREAT trucks. there are a lot out there in great shape.... check autotrader.com or even ebay.com
