Heck, I do fine with an old '95 Toyota Pickup with the 2.4L. I put a
cap on the back so I have room for stuff out of the weather, plus I
get much better mileage that way. I get 30mpg in normal driving, and
got something like 20-25mpg dragging a trailer last year. It is a
little slow on long uphills, though.

It seems to me that Charlie usually tows with big vans, from what he's
said. I do have a minivan, but I've heard too many horror stories
about transmission failures to tow with it at this point (130K miles).
