4x4/AWD truck/SUV good on gas under $20k
 

I'm looking for a winter truck that can fit 3 dogs. Any suggestions on something under $20k that can get around 20MPG?

mid sized trucks, SUV's, etc.

Good luck with the MPG

I'm not looking for full sized SUV's. Alot get more than 20MPG.

Or at least close to 20MPG highway miles.

Toyota Tacoma

I was going to suggest that.. I think you can pick up a nice used 4 door Tacoma for that price range. I love mine..

that looks like a cool little pickup for the money .. :thumbsup

forget used, you can get an '05 4door for 20k. the msrp is only 23k :)

honda crv? i donno. its a small suv. keep your dogs warm fuck.

Looked at one. Wasn't enough room for 3 large dogs in the cab.

yea I was just checking that out.. might be time for a trade in :winkwink:

one thing I noticed is the 05 v6 is 245hp and the 06 is only 236HP with almost the same gas mileage.. pretty lame..

Anyone here drive an 05 Grand Cherokee?

I would guess Toyota too.

this might help too

Can't find any of those around here.

Does that have more space than the Colorado Crew Cab?

not sure. how big are your dogs?

I know that a lot of people hate the way the Honda Element looks but they're extremely roomy inside and the MSRP for the 4WD LX is $19,150. They're very durable...rubber floors, water resistent seats, etc...and the back seats fold up or come completely out.

I have the 2WD EX model, which gets 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway.

90-110lbs

Try looking at the Chevy Trailblazer EXT Version. Good MPG and new they were only 23K. Lots of room as well.

For that price, my guess is that you will have to go for a used one.

I took a look at one...didn't like the interior that much. Jeeps I did, though.

I'm looking for something used, yes. It's just something that I'll need for the winter.
