Fred,
Checking the Toyota web site, the towing capacity for the 2 wheel drive and 
 4 wheel drive Tacoma with V6 and automatic are the same. 
Depending on how equipped; Standard is 3,500 lbs and Max is 6,500  pounds.

Rummy  the reason 4 wheelers have a lower tow rate of equal size vehicles  
is
because of the heavier duty weight of all  parts.
