From one DJ to another, we can't all like the same things. That's what makes the world a more interesting place.
I like a V8 powered vehicle because it doesn't have to work as hard a four banger and you can get a lot more work done in one shot. I tried a four banger Toyota 4X4 for a while. Sure it got better mileage (20 MPG vs 13 MPG) than my GMC 4X4 for every day driving but when it came to hauling things like top soil for the gardens or whatever, I had to make 3 trips with the Toy where I could make one trip with the GMC. At full capacity the Toy was straining big time where the GMC was just starting to feel like it was carrying something and they both had the same ratings, half tons. The GMC can easily carry 3 times its half ton rating and still be safe on the road and it is still 100% stock.
