hey, i love traveling. i love laying down miles and going from city to city, skatepark to skatepark. i sleep in the back of my truck under an aluminum campershell, at my height i can sleep fully extended and get a good night sleep, i can sit upright on a mattress on a bed in the back. I can drive to 97% of my destinations with 2wd and highway tires. most importantly I can (well i used to) get 29mpg with grandma driving. this ranger has been great for laying down endless miles across the usa. Well I want to switch to something with even better mpgs, i figure a wagon or an suv is my option.
im thinking either a light weight late 90s, low displacement 4cyl wagon, or a prius wagon. older vehicle seems like they may be easier to repair on the go. ranger is easy to repair on the go, ive done a few repairs a skatepark parking lot, a bikeride away from the autoparts store.
I guess my troubles in finding a vehicle is
1. I would not be able to sit upright in bed in most sedan based wagons which are not very tall
2. sedan suspensions will die on washbarded roads and shitty innercity 50mph massive potholes
advice?
i hear subaru forester can get pretty high mpg when hypermiled
