I am a male teen looking for my first vehicle. I'm leaning more toward a pickup. I'm trying to decide between an old Toyota pickup or an old Chevy pickup. I know that an old Chevy will burn more fuel, but how much. All the pickups I've seen are 454 big blocks-Bad Gas Millage. That's my only concern. However the Toyota is only a 4 cylinder and had low power. I would much rather have the Chevy but don't want to pay for gas. I like going offroading a lot and the ability to tow something heavy. I just don't think a 4 c. will cut it. Any tips?? Fuel saving secrets for Chevy??? Torque increasing for Toyota??? Which would you choose??? Note: standard vs. automatic doesn't matter to me. I'd much rather prefer 4x4 over 2x4.
 
the toyota will be better for gas mileage and offroading but they have really bad rust issues the frames on them are rusting really badly. any toyota pickup up to 1998 has this problem so i would say do not touch the toyota. the toyota owners are actually trying to get the company to issue a recall.
