For me...
I bought a Toyota Echo on Oahu for 3500 with 75K miles on it. Almost got 100K now... Built like a tank and gets 44MPG consistently. I've taken it from Fern Forest, Hawaiian Acres to numerous unpaved roads -goes just about anywhere and hauls all my stuff from HD and Costco. There have only been a handful of times I wish I had truck.
Tho if I had to have a truck a tacoma would fit the bill as a second vehicle. At 4 bucks + a gallon I kinda enjoy pulling up to the pump. Knowing that for my 10 gallons I'm gonna get around 450 miles out of it.
That's over 20 trips to Hilo from Hawaiian Beaches on one tank of gas.
Normally I drive 4 times a week so that's 2.5 weeks before I gotta refill.
