The six was a nice engine, and pretty smooth, but gave out very few more HP. The problem with owning one today is finding any parts. No one has much to offer. I would avoid it unless the truck is an otherwise superb deal. Then you can do what many others have done(shudder) and swap it out for a chevy 6 or other appropriate engine.
Don't be afraid of the 4, it can handle it's own. A good running 4 will do anything the six would do, and with an OD, you can handle the highway, albeit, in the right hand lane.
