Currently living in swift current saskatewan. Everything is 2+ hours away and im looking to build a truck for the summer to travel back to Ontario to visit family etc. Also maybe a small toy hauler. So I was thinking what exactly I should get im stuck in the 1/4 ton diesel range so between datsun/Nissan with the sd22 diesel. A d50 dodge with the mitsubishi diesel. Or a Toyota diesel... Anybody know what kind of mileage id be getting? How expencive they are too up keep and if it would be worth it to get one or just stick to a 3/4 ton 12 valve Cummins. Id like to put duals on it. Flatdeck and possibly a higher gear rear end with a bigger slection of gears tranny id aim for cruising 130km/ph at something near 1500rpm? Thanks

 

Soooooo,

You are looking for pre 84 TOYOTA diesel advice?

 

Yessir im wondering what kinda fuel mileage they get and of theyre as good as th other options

Haha good good but I need to know more about em. Like are they also just a plain mechanical or are they vacume type intake like the sd22, horsepower. Engine modles. Duel mileage for the 1/4 ton 2wd etc anything would be better to know
