Jeremy
I was thinking of buying one of there lawn tractors but i have kind of hilly terrain. I know some lawn tractors don't do as well on this type of land.

It is going to be less an issue of what brand and more what style of mower is going to work best for you. Steep hills call for a mower with a lower center of gravity and a wider stance. How steep are you talking? Also are you running up and down the hills or across? A floating deck is going to be better then a hanging deck to reduce scalping as you crest the hills. Additionally, the bigger the hills, the higher the risk of rollover, so investing in a mower with a seatbelt and ROPS (roll-over protection system) may be very well worth it.
Finally, you need to look at what type of transmission is on the equipment. A low price mower may be under-built to handle the demands you are putting it under. A commercial grade mower may cost more, but may save you a bundle in repairs and replacement in the future.

What is the functional difference in the 4 cyl and 6 cyl engine in the Toyota Tacoma?

Not sure which one I need. I would be pulling either a utility trailer with construction supply or a lawn tractor or pulling a 14 foot boat.
Answer
to add,
pulling a utill trailer at moderate to hwy speeds, you would definitely want the V6. the I4 will do what the V6 does at lower speeds due to different gearing. but it cannot develop the torque needed to do the work at moderate to hwy speeds.
in that case, there is some truth to "no replacement for displacement".
also, if you're pulling say your boat on vacation at hwy speeds and going up hills, get it with a manual trans. the V6 can be a little lacking under those conditions as well and the auto trans will kick down a lot. the manual trans will fair better in the long run.
