Hey guys I am in need of a truck to haul around my dirtbikes and I hate to get rid of the miata, but I just need more room. The car is in good shape it has 112k on it and it has a hardtop on it. I am looking for a truck that has about the same miles that can be a direct trade. I am a student right now so I cant really go a day without a car or else I would put it up for sale. thank you.
go here for pics... http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/1103661237.html
Just get a 4x8 trailer from harbor freight. The miata will pull it with 1 maybe 2 bikes on it. That's what I'm going to be doing to take the Ninja to the tracks. I know it will pull your dirtbike cause my Ninja is twice as heavy.
Truck = 16 mpg.
Mine gets 24, thank you!Quote:

I had the tongue of one of these break at 80mph on I45
stopped with only the tongue left attached to the car
everything else was junk in a pile in the median
lucky it stopped in the median, and didn't get into incoming traffic and kill someone
yea I really don't want to put a hitch on the miata...I need the truck for space and maybe some off-roading! :D
buy a 4.0L Jeep Cherokee, it will pull the trailer and do the off-road bit too.
Or you could find a Jeep Comanche with a 4.0L...Quote:

Too bad you don't like Jeeps. I've got a 2000 Jeep Cherokee that I would have been willing to trade straight up depending on the condition of your Miata.
I'm really looking to pick up a Miata for a track project.
