Toyota, never really tried one for long. Old school 20R with a 5 speed was tough little guy. Might have to venture into one. I do have an affinity toward the Land Cruisers. Posh fixins. Po boy no got no funds.
Here is the Dodge 3.0 ECO Diesel in a full size. Not to derail, just found it, I had no clue they had this engine package.

Back in the 80's I had a Isuzu P'up work truck with a 4 banger stick in it. 2L engine with no guts at all, but once it got up to speed I ran it @ 75-80 mph all day long every day on the interstates and it would just smile as it went by the gas pumps. Tolerably nice interior..nothing fancy, but plush when compared to some of the other pick-ups of the same era. Man I loved that truck. Put 175k on it before the boss decided he wanted to drive it one day and totalled it.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
