I had a mid 90's Toyota with the 22RE in the early 2000 timeframe.  That truck was nice when it came to off-road four wheeling.  After a road trip with a couple friends the lack of room and comfort was too much.  When we got back I sold the toy and bought a real truck.   

Honestly though... I can't even imagine doing multi-state hunts with a couple friends in a small truck.  Where do you guys put your gear?  I guess once you fill a full size quad cab with gear and hunting buddies it's hard to imagine downsizing.

I bought a 2016 Colorado last November. Great looking truck and over all decent rig. The 6 speed autos are crap ( drivability wise) inho but the Toyotas 6 speed is no different. I drove both the Tacomas and the Colorados multiple times and I wish I would have gotten a Silverado ( coming from and old Tundra ) Too small and no low end power with the V6

I am averaging 15 MPG but its on a 4" lift with 33" tires and very heavy 18" Fuel wheels with the air dam removed
The mountains are calling and I must go

IMO the fuel mileage isn't even that great.  Definitely not enough to give up all the other benefits of a full size.   I normally average 11 - 14 mpg pulling a 40' rv that weighs in at 15,000 lbs.  That's with a full size quad cab.   Unhooked I get 17+ city and 24+ hwy (75 mph).
