The Tacoma was one of the few Toyota vehicles that Consumers Reports didn't recommend in their last auto issue. Some of those little ones don't do that well on gas either. Three of us took a Dodge Dakota to Canada one year and the thing drank gas worse than my full size truck. Maybe the heaters are better today than back when I had that old K5 Blazer, but I remember trying to heat that thing up to a tolerable level in the winter was a chore. I'm thinking something like a mid size SUV like a Highlander or a GMC Acadia with a cargo liner. That should get low - mid 20's for mileage and save depreciation and insurance for two vehicles.
