TrailManor Owner's Forum - View Single Post - what is a good tow vehicle with decent gas mileage?

I have a Nissan Titan 4x4 that's rated 14/18mpg. I started looking this weekend into trading it for a smaller pickup to save gas. I was shocked to find that both the Nissan and Toyota compact trucks with 4x4 and V6 are rated almost the same: 14/19mpg. However, Toyota makes an overseas version of the Tacoma called the "Hilux" with a 3.0L diesel, 5,000lb tow rating, and gets 21/28 mpg for the 4dr 4x4. I'll have to move to Dubai to get one.
