Curious if anyone had, has or drove the early Tundras with the V-6 in them. I'm looking around at vehicles, and nothing is really jumping out at me. Would love an 80, but mileage is pretty bad in them. So got to thinking a pickup may be better for me anyways. I always liked the T-100's, and I really prefer a manual, another strike against an 80. But T-100's are pretty hard to find, in fair shape, etc... and in a manual. But then I got to thinking about the v-6 tundras with manual. I know even rarer, but how do they do.

Is the added weight on the Tundra chassis noticeable. Are they totally gutless??? I really don't know, and have never driven even the T-100 so I don't know if I would even like it, but from what I understand the v-8 was a gas hog, and only comes in a auto anyways. One big benefit over the T-100 though is the third doors, much easier access to the rear seat.

All I need it for is a DD, some mild work, towing a small trailer and a pop-up camper. I'm hoping mileage would be better too than an 80, and my 60 that I'm driving now, 14.5 MPG usually.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
