Are there any pick up trucks with small engines?
I mean like 4 cylinder 1.3-1.5 engine.
Was thinking how I'd love to get a truck if only they got good gas mileage.
Would you buy a pick-up if they got great MPG?
I for one would want this!

Small toyotas/mazda trucks from the 80s had pretty good mpgs. Those small 80s trucks weren't actually that bad either.

Vw had a diesel in a small truck. I think it was the cabriolet? around the late 70s/early 80s and it got 40 to 50 mpgs....

Just get an S-10. I've had my 91 S-10 for years and its a 4cyl 5 speed. Never breaks and gets around 34mpg if you drive careful.

the later S10s had a 2.2 litre 4 cyl made by Isuzu that seems well built. cannot go wrong with an old Toyota with the 22 r or better yet the 22 re.

'60s Datsun had little motors like 1200, 1300, 1500

They're kind of on the austere side of plain. AM and heater optional.

Check out Johnny Mullet's eco mudder. Built out of a geo 4 door. Pretty neat.

Really that much? I heard of people getting mid 30s, but never really believed them.

Man, I loved my 92 4.3/5 speed. Thing looked like crap but damn did it scream. Obviously you aren't getting much for mpgs in those....

My cousin used to have a chevy luv pickup, first generation. Not sure what engine was in though. Have another friend who has a early ford ranger, when they first came fuel injected with a small four banger in it. 88 model or so with a 2.0 liter engine.


Heres you a three cylinder truck,
