[QUOTE="Highbeam, post: 264739, member: 23735"] I agree with your point on the mileage. It seems that a caravan we owned when I was younger, I took my driver's test in it, got 16 mpg in town and 20 on the highway with the 3.0 V6. Why not get a V8 in a fullsize vehicle? The same goes for your toyota pickup. Mileage is only slightly lower for much more vehicle. I drove a van full of survey equipment for a summer. It was a ford with large V8, probably the 460 in a 3/4 ton extended chassis. When you walk around in the back you must lean down a bit so you don't bonk your head. The side slider door can be a finger chopper but is very nice for access. The step-in height in the rear was very low so loading your bike should be pleasant. The cooky thing about driving it was that you were sitting so far forward. When you went through a corner, you traveled more distance since you were sitting on the front wheel. Not a big deal, just had to get used to it. The engine was quite inside the doghouse. Just like with a pickup, I would recommend against a half ton. The stouter suspension and running gear make for a more stable ride. You may want to tow with it someday and the half ton is built with lighter duty components. Brakes, suspension, transmission, coolers, etc. will all be of heavier build. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
