The guy I bought my Previa 5 speed from was finally buying a newer vehicle, so the van was going. He wanted a small 4x4 truck that he could a canopy on and put his canoe on top of. He really liked Toyotas, so there you go, problem solved, get a few year old Tacoma with a 5 speed. Showed up a week later with a V8 Tundra crew cab, because it "was bigger and more useful"? A week or so later I stopped seeing the Tundra, I asked him about it, he said "Man I am riding my bike to work now, that Tundra costs too much to put gas in!" Noooo! Shocking! The giant V8 truck costs more to run than your 4 cylinder, 5 speed van did? Maybe it needs an Eco light as well!
