Upgrading to the 4.0-liter V6 also gets you a theft-deterrent system and the option of a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission in the 2009 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab V6 4WD. A limited-slip differential and traction control are still standard, as well as a raised suspension and 16-inch wheels.
