[QUOTE="Highbeam, post: 168851, member: 23735"] The mpg of a full size chev can be very good. Heck, my fullsize chev with a 350 V8 gets a low of 16.5 to over 19 on the highway. Try asking people with the fullsize chev and a 4.3 liter v6 what their mileage is and I think you'll be impressed. My 1985 Toyota 4x4 could get as high as 22 on the highway and could carry a max of about 1200 lbs comfortably and it was very underpowered for empty driving. If you're concerned mostly with payload and mpg get a stick shifting 2 wheel drive diesel full size. mpgs in the low 20s and gobs of torque for hauling. The limits of payload in a mini-truck will be the suspension sagging not the lack of power, they always have a lack of power and it doesn't get much worse with a couple thousand extra pounds. If you must go minitruck please go with Toyota 4cyl.. Fullsize gas powered your best mpg will be from a chev. Diesel mpg should be best with a cummins from dodge. Payload is not an issue with 700 lbs of bikes and the toyota minis have exceptionally good brakes after 1986. [/QUOTE]
