What about a Tacoma? V-6 with a crew cab would be more useful than a Rav4? I had a I-4 single cab, stick a couple years back and it was the most fun vehicle I have ever driven(dad owned). We even pulled our tractor on a car hauler to the guy that bought the tractor(was a little struggle up hills but having stick helped a lot!). With a crew cab you'd have your interior room, with the bed you can throw bikes, lumber, etc in the back, and they are pretty capable off road.

I looked at Tacoma's, but they were much more expensive and got lower mpg's than there Patriot. My whole point was more power for towing and better mpg's, so the Rav4 fit the bill perfectly. Plus with a similar footprint to the Jeep, it's still easy to park and easy to turn

Well today we drove the Rav to Florida, same exact trip we did in the Jeep a couple months ago. In the Jeep we had to stop for gas 4 or 5 times, and got about 16-17 mpg while towing the trailer at 60-65 mph. In the Rav4, we filled up twice on the way and filled up after getting to the camp site, and got 23 mpg while towing at 70 mph

Yeah, it's silver. They had a color similar to the one I had on the Patriot, but it was only available on the sport model. (They have a Base, Sport, and Limited)

This beach is about 12 hours away. You would think it would be easily pulled by the Patriot, and it was for the first 50 mph, but past that it seemed to struggle.

480, good eye!

Yeah, I think we are going to check out Texas beaches sometime. We've been hooked on Florida for awhile

I secretly drop by every now and then and check the newbie section to see if whoever bought my Pat joined this site. No sign of them yet, but checking the VIN it looks like it was bought in Tulsa
