What happened to mini-trucks and 50mpg with 4cyl Dzl ?
Bring it Back !
They were ahead of their most needed time maybe ?
Or just mini-trucks with ANY type of power source would be nice to see again.
My 81 VW Truck with 1.6 TboDzl has an extra-large-oversize fiberglass camper shell about 300 pounds on back. With the extra weight and wind drag, plus 400 pounds of combined cargo and myself - it averaged 42mpg going through all the up and down mountain ranges between NC and Markham Ontario Canada.
Threw on another 1000-1200 pounds in Markham, and still averaged 42mpg coming back home also.
Before i get hammered with BS complaints - it has HD lifted front struts, cargo spring assist rear shocks, extra leaf springs, and a super heavy duty plastic ribbed bed liner insert i cut to fit from a late model Dodge. Truck still far exceeds all practical expectations. Also has a custom built HD rear bumper for trailer towing.
