Hello again.
After reading thru the responses. It seems the k5 may be my best bet.
To review my wants:
1. tow pop up
2. will be driven under 5k a yr
3. dont want to spend a lot
4. want to mod over time
5. fuel economy would be nice but not critical
6. like of off road but would probably be on mtn bike more often
7. Need to transport at least 4-5 people and big dogs.
Was gettin an alignment on my 4runner this morning, while waiting I was reading thru the stack of 4x4 mags.
There was an article on a diesel 6.2l engine. Believe the years were 87-91? They made what seemed a good argument in the fuel economy and low revving torque ie: comporable power to 350 with economy of a 4 popper.
It seems they are rare. But I would assume that everything else would be the same as a gas k5 ie: suspension etc.
any input?
E
p.s. does the k5 lend well to an overkill type roof rack?
