[QUOTE="zio, post: 168893, member: 19332"] [b]FWIW...[/b] I used to haul two bikes - an XR600 (PIG!) and CR250- in my '89 Toyota pickup. It was a 2wd, 4 spd stick, power nuthin. It never felt underpowered. In fact, when empty, It was pretty quick for a truck, and I could easily break the rear wheels loose (granted, the rear end is pretty light with no payload). It was a really fun car to drive. It handled pretty well, too. My only complaint, though a minor one, was the lack of sound insulation. It was a pretty noisy ride at freeway speeds with only 4th gear. And the 22R 4cyl. engine is infamous for longevity and reliability. Same goes for the manual tranny in the Toyota pickups. Not sure if they're still producing the 22R engines, I think they stopped a few years ago. Bed length was the only limiting factor, of course. And as it was a standard cab legroom was tight with my 10" sub behind the seat, though I wouldn't say it was ever uncomfortable. I vaguely remember averaging around 18-22 mpg, but that was before high gas prices and I wasn't too concerned back then. I liked it so much, that I'm selling my Infiniti Q45 to get myself another (gearing up for that new bike, of course!!!). Hope this helps!!! [/QUOTE]
