{thread tanget}I WANT MY HILUX{/thread tangent}

Another options is what my dad did, buy a 4cyl 2wd mid 90's tacoma. 29mpg for his daily commute, and still has a bed big enough for most things. Fridges, plywood, etc all fit, just with the tailgate down. Heck just last month he went and picked up some topsoil for me. Sure it's not sexy, big or capable of towing much, but he doesn't need any towing capacity, or need to haul 5000lbs in one go. And the few times he's needed that in the 10 years he's owned it, he's either borrowed or rented a big truck. All he needs is something to get him to work efficiently, and a bed big enough to pick up some 2x4's or plywood from Lowes.

Me, I want that and the ability to tow 5K, but the only way I can get that is in a small diesel. I really really want a ranger/f150/Tacoma Turbo Diesel but nobody sells them here.
