Growing trend- hopefully
The diesel version certainly looks to be a winner, from a mileage perspective. I recently drove a gasser version for a couple of weeks. Low to mid 30s for fuel mileage was great compared to my '01 DMax with the LB7. However, the low ground clearance causes problems in winter, especially when you catch a small mound of snow/ice as you're backing out of a driveway (rubbed the paint off of the rocker panel and slightly sprung it outward while rocking it free- fortunately, it was a dealership car). A shoe horn to help get my big arss in/out of the car would've helped too. Otherwise, not too bad.
