Looking for a Toyota Truck.
prefer a 4 cylinder with 2 wheel drive as it isn't doing much off road but mainly for highway trips
so fuel economy is important.
4 door crew cab a must.
anyone no anyone?
thanks K440
keep on truckin'
Toyota Tacoma Wanted

I like the look of the Tscomas but people say the fuel economy is poor compared to other similar vehicles.

Why, oh why, didn't I take the Blue pill?
I had a ranger 2.5 diesel that used 60L from phnom penh to ratanakiri (about 750 km) give or take a few litres. When I switched to the tacoma it almost doubled. Went to a nissan navara v6 diesel to get rid of the tacoma and fuel economy is back on par with the ranger and the truck is a lot nicer too.
All of these are 4x4 but the tacoma was a 3.4 v6, but just to let you know they dont make 4 door 4 cyl tacomas. Even the v6 though was not very powerful especially for the fuel consumption and the 2wd 4 cylinder 2 door was even worse. Would not recommend, happy to be rid of our tacoma.
The only way you're going to get 4 doors and good fuel economy is with a diesel, so youre going to end up with either a navara, or ranger. Hilux 3.0 are still pigs on fuel sadly. Personally I liked the ranger more than the navara only because of looks and slightly better ground clearance, but both trucks have been good. Put 80,000 km on the ranger with no major issues but the navara only maybe 5k.

Good info there from SlowJoe.
I occasionally daydream about getting a pick-up, something that's more possible now the wife has her own little car. But the reality is the added cost just for the benefit of chucking stuff in the back half a dozen times a year and fulfilling my red-neck fantasies just isn't worth it. So I'll stick with the compact SUVs for a while.

Its worth it to me to have the bed. It comes in handy more than i expected especially in the provinces and wasnt much more than a little suv. Fuel economy is actually better with the navara compared to our old crv and the ride is surprisingly good too. Im also a bit of a bloke in that i like 'real' trucks vs softroaders.slavedog wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 11:06 amGood info there from SlowJoe.
