[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by AntonioFP45</i> <br /><br />Looks like me and AlcoDave are the oddballs here. <br /> <br />At my teacher's salary there's NO WAY that I can afford the gas guzzling V8 anymore! (I used to own hot rods). I hear a lot of people complaining here in Florida how they spend $80 to fill up their SUVs! Yipes! <br /> <br />Since 1994 I've been driving Toyota 4 cylinders and have never looked back. <br /> <br />My 1998 4 banger Tacoma extended cab pickup does it for me if I railfan. Has no problem traversing rough terrain, still rides like a car on the road and contrary to the myths about 4 bangers, it will hit 90 mph with ease if pushed.. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />You can get a 4x4 with 4 cylinders though - my Disco has a 2.5ltr straight 4 with a turbo, returns 30mpg. The V8 sounds nice but in my experience the TDI will do anything you ask of it when handled well. Put it in low range 1st and it'll pull a 40 ton truck... <br /> <br />
