Cracking into the 30+mpg region in a 4x4 is the holy grail, if you can do that you're golden. Even in a little thriftbox like the Toy.

It was never big on power but the 22R makes decent torque for a motor its size. Its greatest strength is that it's a really durable design, a stout bottom end and very flexible power delivery. It's a good engine to have when you're trying to teach someone how to drive stick.

Subbed with interest. I've always been a big fan of the 22R, even if I'm not that wild about other Toyota vehicles.
