I wish someone would make a simple work truck with a non turbo engine and an 8 ft, box.

My neighbour has one in his driveway. Said it's the best for dump runs, and actual work things.

If he ever considers selling it I'll put in an offer. It's an old 80s Chevy truck. RWD, big bed, 2 doors, beat to hell and back.

It's perfect.

Friend in the US just put a small Cummins diesel kit in a Tacoma , 2016 , it’s not fast , but sips fuel and will pull more than the truck is set up for .
Small diesel trucks everywhere in the world , except Canada .

This is also done with ford ranger with the VW 1.9alh motor. Bolts right up to ford transmission with a $2k adapter. jeep guys use the alh aswell. Most durable 4 cylinder engine that came out of Germany.

We're on conservation land, we can apply yearly for a big reduction on our property taxes, we'll be doing this and looking for side hustles for extra cash. F the government...lol

We do that with part of our property.

We’re in the city but have a lot deep ravine lot. About 1/2 an acre is under conservation so we don’t pay taxes on that part.

It doesn’t save all that much, we save around $800/year in a 180x250 piece of land. The down side is you can’t fence that part, build on it, store stuff or till the land. We can cut the grass.

It’s good for me, I have no interest in clearing or building, it’s my buffer zone.

That sounds better than where I am. Part of the lot is EP and you have all the restrictions you have (as well as restrictions around tree cutting) and we are taxed on the land at residential rates. Nice buffer but a pricey one.

If you’re looking for really sweet and delicious corn. Alliston farm market has the best corn I’ve ever had

My bro grows 3000 acres of corn and beans in Alliston. I think the farmers market stuff is only local for 2 weeks weeks each August, the rest of the time it’s imported from Mexico and the US.

Ours is EP too, 50’ back from the river’s high water mark is a no-touch area, we also have city tree cutting restrictions, and my whole back yard is part is part of a regionally regulated woodlot which restricts disturbing and native plants or trees.

I like it the way it is.
 
Sry it’s Allison farm market in Georgetown

Not Alliston

After waiting nearly 8 months my Maverick finally arrived.
Is it a heavy duty truck ? No, but it will carry 500 lbs in the bed, has a 2,000 lb towing capacity (200 lbs tongue weight), and with the tail gate down I could probably carry a cow in it if I had to.
AWD with a 2.0 litre turbo is plenty of jam for me, plus it seems pretty easy on fuel so far.
I'd guess that for 90% of private owners it is more than enough.

I also ordered mine in February and picked it up about 4 weeks ago. I've gotta say, I was a bit surprised when the sales guy called to tell me it was in.
Pretty happy with it so far and definitely gets better fuel mileage compared to the big truck!

I really like the Ranger / Maverick line. Would def consider one if I needed it.

But currently I have no use for a truck…I just want it.
 
+1 for for wagon.... station wagon that is

I wish more station wagons would be available here at reasonable prices.

I may have mantoined this before here on some other thread but too bad the Subaru Baja never took off well.
I wanted one shorlty after we got married to replace a the GOLF I brought in. My newly married wife threatened me with divorce. lol j/k

I think owning one would be very practivcal

I think if you dig into the next Tacoma ,2024 it will be a twin turbo 4cyl as the only option .
I don’t want a twin turbo generation 1 from anybody , not even Toyota

I joked with my wife that if she REALLY wants to drive the GTI she needs to learn to drive stick.

If I find that we do in fact need two automatics, then I’ll trade the GTI for either a Sportwagen or a 330xi wagon.

Love wagons. My Elantra Touring was awesome…except for a transmission made of glass.
