whew, ok. you had me worried there.
those tiny pickups are already load capacity limited, then throwing in a torqueless wonder like a rotary engine, and you may as well try driving a sled with a team of hamsters through the mountains. You probably have that B13 motor or whatever it's called, which is pretty popular.

well im not goin to use the truck for anything, but walling it off if i got a reg cab... and id want it to be a 2wd and lower it and all that, but if not then id leave it.. with either of the trucks, id like to be a v8 in it.. if anything a 350, but maybe a little smaller since gas prices arent too great... and ive looked at SUV's... my dream vehicle is a 80/early 90's model s-10 Blazer lowered and all that.. but they are hard to find.. especially 2wd 2 doors.. and i dont really want a car.. too many ratteling problems.. even though i would sound deaden whatever i got.. so i guess it doesnt really matter.. i dont know what to do... :help:

Yeah, but the only thing you can fit in the extended cab of a compact truck is a dog you're not that fond of. The other option goes to putting subwoofers and your amps/processors back there, which is what I'd get an extended cab for. They also have better acoustic properties than a regular cab truck.
Toyota trucks are by FAR the worst kind of vehicle I could fathom putting a system in. I wouldn't recommend them unless you have a sponsorship from Second Skin. Ask anyone who has put any degree of a system in a those trucks and they'll quickly tell you that the truck (especially the sheet metal) has the structural integrity of a tin can. My dad has had 5 of them in the last 20 years or so. By the time every one of them has seen ~100,000 miles, you crank them up and let them idle and you'll swear someone is outside of the truck beating the windows in. Talk about a rattle trap, ugh. The newer ones are a little better, but they're still not built all that well when you compare it to an S-10, Ranger, Dakota, etc. Maybe the 2005 model improved on that, IDK.
