06 07 4 Cyl 4WD Tacoma opinions wanted

In 1980 or 81 I bought a Datsun pickup with about 60 hp diesel. Only drove it about 80k and sold it. Only problem with engine was it could not swim. Seems they put the air intake about 10 inches lower on the diesel than the gas.

The engine did a great job for me. Mileage was in the 32 or so range. Did pull a trailer with a Ford 601 tractor and rotary cutter. Way overloaded. That is when I learned about springs and brakes and such on tow vechile.

Now the body, a bean can was stronger.

As to the engines in Toyota Tundra, my 2004 will pull very well and runs great. I am very pleased with it.

KW,
Have you looked at Mitsubishi and Mazda? Just driving by their lots I think they offer the compact pickup. Have no idea on engines. Have no idea on price or quality.

KW, Mitsubishi is basically the same truck as a Dodge Dakota.
I did not know that.
I had a Dakota a few years ago and it was all Dodge, at least the best I knew. I got very good service from mine, V 6 with 5 sp manual.

I did know Mazda made the Ranger years ago, but things change.

KW,
You want diesel,
Green power was a suggestion,

So if you take the first line and add the second line you come up with JD. So find a pickup body you like and put in a JD diesel for the GREEN power. Forgive me...just added up for me. (reading about Murf's friend pk helped).

The options could be endless...

I worked for a manf. that used Duetz as an option. At high rpms running such as hyd they did fine. Boy, when you went to drive off, a 3 year old on a trike would pass you. No torque. Well compared to Cat, Cummins or Detroit.
