We test a thundering herd of half-ton haulers—Chevrolet LUV, Datsun King Cab, Ford Courier, Mazda B2000 Sundowner Sport, Plymouth Arrow Sport, Toyota SR5, and Volkswagen pickup—to see which small pickup has the biggest impact.
As with everything else, some are better than others. Fortunately, the Great Auto Revolution has touched down here and there in the truck field, leaving technological advance in its wake like a benevolent tornado. Every truck in this test comes with an overhead-cam, aluminum-head engine. Slick-shifting five-speeds have been common for years. Several interiors match car standards in trim level, if not in roominess.
So we've stopped the whirlwind for a moment to see who's done the best job with what. Each has a maximum payload it can safely carry, and this, with a steady hand on the tape measure, will tell you which will accommodate your dirt bikes or nasturtiums. The critical length, width, height, and avoirdupois are listed below. Once you've narrowed the field to those trucks with adequate boxes, pay careful attention to our fun-to-drive rankings.
One last generality before we get down to specifics: most of the price information here is obsolete because it was compiled just before large sticker increases. The U.S. Customs Service boosted import tariffs on trucks a few months back from 4 to 25 percent. President Carter had the final authority to trim the increase back to 8.5 percent, as he saw fit. In any case, all but the VW are certainly more expensive. All the more reason to pick your pickup wisely.
