I dunno, Ive been driving a chevy colorado for 2 years now, its got the small enginem 4 doors and a 5 foot bed. I get 20-25 mpg (above the 20 that is claimed). I can tow around 4 bikes comfortably all day, or 2 bikes and my camper, or my camper by itself.

I can't tow the big campers that require a 5th wheel or haul horses or stuff like that, but 99% of the shit that I've ever needed to move can be moved with this truck.
