Daily Driver and Kayak Transport

I use my 2012 TDI Golf to tote my Yak around. 40MPG and it does EVERYTHING!!

You can also get a TDI Volkswagen Jetta Wagon. Same fuel economy with a little more storage.

I sell Volkswagen by the way so if you need a car send me a PM. (Shameless plug)

2001 Toyota Tacoma Double cab with a camper shell. Carries all my gear and yaks great. Tons of storage, only downside is with the bigger tires and lift I get 12mpg....
I would get one of those TDI Volkswagen's in a heart beat if it wasn't for the fact I can't stand to drive a small car and I use my truck to tow stuff too often so I'm stuck with my truck that gets the same gas mileage wide open as I it does driving it like a old person, so wide open it is

Same here I have a 2007 Double Cab Tacoma with bigger tires and small lift. I get about 16mpg. I use my truck as a truck to often to drive anything else at this point. ffice

I transport the PA in the bed (5’) using a bed extender and it’s a breeze getting it on and off. I’m only 5’7” 140 lb btw.

The Frontier is a great truck so it makes little sense if aren’t going to be savings a substantial amount taking in to account lost of usability, extra car payments, insurance ect.

You know what bugs me. Full size trucks get 16-20 mpg and the best these older v6 tacos get is 15 stock... How is it a smaller engine moving less weight can't get better than bigger engine moving more weight... I burn $40-50 of gas a day at work in this thing...
One day I will get the supercharger so I can dgaf about the mpg since than ill actually feel like I'm getting something out of the gas I'm dumping into this thing.

A lot of the new V8's have a multi-displacement mode. When you are just cruising, the engine shuts off 4 cylinders. My Dodge with a Hemi motor gets 23 mpg highway.
