    Realistic Towing expectations

    You imply that the engine has something to do with safety? That's absolutely false. Learn to drive safely and there won't be any problem.

    2.7 Prerunner?

    4x4 is also 2.7. What you need to keep in mind, however, is gear ratio. If you put on bigger wheels, you need to compensate for them with lower gearing in the differential. Prerunner/4x4 have 4.1:1 in the differential(s).

    Electric Tacoma coming Soon

    Running on water was most certainly a fraud. However, electricity can separate water into H2 + O2, and H2 can be combusted in an engine to produce H2O exhaust.

    2011 help with these codes

    One of those is low battery voltage. I would start with that. Have the battery tested, replace if appropriate, clear the codes, and see if it comes back.
