I'm currently looking for a new vehicle. I want a 4x4 that could also serve as a BOV. This automobile doesn't have to be that large, in fact, I would prefer a smaller car. By large, I mean like an F250 or something heavy duty like that. I want to get a diesel vehicle and run it on biodiesel so that I'm finally free from high gas prices. While I'm on the subject of fuel, I would like a vehicle that gets reasonable miles to the gallon. It doesn't have to get 50 mpg but I'm also not interested in something that gets something like 15 mpg. I'm not picky as far as the make is concerned, but everybody in my family drives a Toyota so that's what I lean towards. In my experience, Toyota might as well mean "quality and cost efficiency" in Japanese. Considering these conditions, I'm thinking about getting a Toyota Land Cruiser. I would either go for the 40 or 70 series. Whichever I get, it will be one of the jeep styled vehicles. My problem is that I've never had any experience with these cars. Have any of you guys had experience with them? What did you think? What did you like and dislike? If you feel that I could be more wisely spending my money on a different vehicle then please tell me so. But if you feel that way, please explain why you think your pick is a better choice. Please don't just start naming vehicles without telling me why. Thanks in advance for any input that you might have.
