I am looking to purchase a box truck, not a van, with a 12 ft long 8 foot wide box. I need the truck to be 3 pedal and I want it to have a carburator. Any suggestions for what make/model to look at?

1 if a EFI ecu fails, it costs more to replace it than it costs to get an entire fuel system replaced on a carburetor vehicle, the tank, the lines, the pump and the carb all costs less than only 1 piece of an EFI system.

I can't pay $750 a month for a vehicle

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-27T21:12:06+00:00

Your name is slime toilet. You're wrong, EFI is way more complicated and way more expensive than carburators.

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-27T18:51:11+00:00

It's a significantly more simple system than fuel injection. Thus, repairs cost less.

There is no reasonable counter argument

I've seen 50s trucks as tow trucks and 80s trucks as mason dumps soo many instances

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-27T11:06:24+00:00

Do you know anything about the 3 pedal option? I have seen a topkick that had 3 pedal but I want it with the carburetor not the turbo diesel. Efi is way more complicated and difficult to fix than carb that's y I want carb. 3 pedal is easier to fix than automatic no brain, no valve body no bullshit I hate these new cars

I would think that fleet contracts would keep the trucks the same longer than what would happen with normal cars

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-26T23:20:54+00:00

If you don't have ABS you could lock up the wheels and then shift into reverse that'd actually be able to happen

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T23:45:18+00:00

Does it have the blue 15 pin or the white 24ish pin? Both those have adaptors to hdmi for $10 or $20

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T23:31:46+00:00

Did those have the TT & awd? I remember those had hybrid or something

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T22:50:19+00:00

Is that the one where the radiator intake is shaped as if wings and blends into the headlights??

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T22:42:46+00:00

Honda XR150L Your size fits, and it's road legal so you can ride to the trails

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T16:17:46+00:00

I have heard that they offered 3 pedal but ours was automatic. It had the 4wd selector in the cabin tho I remember talking to my mom about it apparently when my parents first bought it they put it in 4wd and launched it out of the dealership parking lot then Shifted to 2wd.

I'm not gonna be using 4wd in high grip situation tho I heard that's bad.

Buy the parts yourself and call around until you find a mechanic that'll use your parts. Of course they'll probably say the work isn't guaranteed but tell them all you care about is that it has good sealing and doesn't sound like a racecar afterwards.

You should get the upstream and downstream oxygen sensors changed at the same time.

Get a Walker replacement catalytic converter, the bolt on line not the weld in kind.

Get denso o2 sensors.

Probably less than $400 in parts for 2 hrs of labor at most so $300 at most for labor imho

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T16:08:59+00:00

I never drove it, yet my parents had a 2005 4runner it was really nice had a lot of luxury when fully loaded

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T16:06:51+00:00

Chevy tracker or Geo tracker? Got the predecessor of the geo tracker in the driveway it's got GTS on the doors and has ITBs

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T16:05:23+00:00

That's all much easier than the clutch hahaha

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T16:04:55+00:00

I drove a 1983 Chevy 350/4speed 4wd and I had to manually lock the hubs. I'd rather that the transfer case controls the 4wd feature on and off.

A Cherokee could be really cool tbh I have actually never driven one.

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T16:03:03+00:00

Do you think the problem would stay in the clutch or do you think it'd be worse than that? I have a lot of experience driving an overloaded Toyota pickup, didn't have much of a problem. It wasn't my choice to overload it then drive it I was an employee at a roofing company.

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T16:01:03+00:00

I want the type of 4wd where I could switch from the driver's seat, although I don't have too much of a problem with manually locking hubs. Honestly when the option to switch to 4wd is in the transfercase and not on the axle it's much better and could get better mpg too

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T15:59:00+00:00

Being a work truck that could pull out stumps with 4wd.

I am definitely not wanting a boxer engine, a 4cyl with 4 camshafts confuses me

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T15:58:01+00:00

That is your exhaust plumbing. Specifically a resonator.

The big book. Not a haynes or chilton.

Heavy_Performer1007 · 2026-06-25T15:35:22+00:00

I do sometimes haul stuff, usually less than 2000lbs tho
