more cargo and less cushion
For me, the TR-20 is just the thing- I'd just fill up a big cab with alot of clutter. I'd put a camper shell on the back to keep the weather and stray hands off my tools and work, with a sliding rear window for when I need to carry long pieces of moulding (like sixteen footers). There are times when I go off-road for a hiking or camping trip and it would be nice to have extra room for a couple friends to ride and 4wd for when it dumps snow and ice on us, but 99% of the time two seats and 2wd will take care of it just fine. I'm looking forward to having 7.5 feet of cargo bed, too bad plywood is 8 ft, though. I've never wanted to be saddled with a full size truck when it comes to driving it around town and keeping gas in it. I have noticed, though that the fuel economy estimates for Mahindra keep dropping (along with the power of the engine)- they used to say a combined number over 30mpg. Still no EPA test results? When I first heard about these I was ready to run out and buy one right away, I'm still interested but now I want to see the facts.
