What kind of truck do I need?
 

I recently got an ATV and got it running good. Got no way to tow it though. Gonna sell my civic wagon and get a cheap truck. I've never owned a truck or towed anything so it's all new to me.

After a while, I'd be getting a second ATV and a trailer to haul it with. Would a 4cyl, i.e. Frontier, B2200, Ranger be strong enough for that? Or should I be looking at V6's?

I don't see why a 4 cylinder couldn't handle it, I've seen civics towing boats :l

Re: What kind of truck do I need?
 

are we talking 10-15 foot row boats, or 35-50 foot mammoths on wheels? lol

Dude, you have a Civic Wagon. Get a small trailer, rig up a hitch, and then tow that ----.


God I miss having a wagon. I want one again just as much, if not more, than I want a CRX.

Sounds like you need a toyota pickup.

thats the cooolest and gayest ---- i have ever seen!

Re: What kind of truck do I need?
 

i bet this civic TRUCK has more space in the bed than hondas gayline so called "truck" more like odyssey fwd mini van

Re: What kind of truck do I need?
 

the ridge line is a very big dissapointment. i drove one and it was gay as ----. slower than a 2.2 s-10, and not very comrfortable

Re: What kind of truck do I need?
 

towing with no power isnt the biggest problem but towing with no brakes is crappy. tow with watever but make sure it can stop electric brakes are the ---- i used to tow things all the time at a rental company, they make life/stopping easy. put a hitch on the civic and have at it.

Re: What kind of truck do I need?
 

I hadnt really considered the wagon but it would be great to be able to keep it. You guys think a D16 with auto trans can haul 2 atv's? I might give that a try. Worst case scenario I waste $ on a trailer hitch for it I guess.

When I put the A6 in it, I went ahead and put on an oil return line. If it's gutless I could always throw on a K03 or something.

Re: What kind of truck do I need?
 

I really like my Tundra has plenty of power and mpg isnt that bad. Plus truck prices are so cheap now you can ealy get something nice for well below blue book

+1

Re: What kind of truck do I need?
 

guy I bought my ranger from use to haul his atv in the bed all the time, its a 97 4cyl 5spd, gets 30mpg highway and around 25 in town. Biggest thing I've hauled in it was two mini bikes though.

:y Get this









Or get a trailor for your civic

Re: What kind of truck do I need?
 

the basic Tacoma is a very good truck. from the first model to 2006 (not the newest one) has a 2.4L 5 speed and gets 25ish mpg with comfy interior, SUPER chill A/C and decent handling.

I`ve transported a friends 600lb bike with it and it drives/accelarate AND stops better then a stupid ford range with the v6 engine.

Re: What kind of truck do I need?
 

I say just slap a hitch on your wagon and maybe a oil cooler for the tranny since you said it's an auto. Maybe an electric brake too.

+1, and my +1 is X10^9 of any one else's $0.02.



A buddy is building a 400 whp 2WD wagon currently. He wants to keep it on the DL, locally, but I'm sure posting a few pics would fly under the A-town radar. I have to clear it with him first though.
