   Name Tata Mega XL Production 2005 to date Engine Tata 800cc inline 2, decor TCIC engine, BS.(Turbo Diesel)  Transmission 5 speed manual gearbox.  Fuel consumption approximately 18.5 km/L With its 800cc engine that allows it to attain 90km/h and a payload capacity of 1000kgs is one of the most economical mini trucks for local city and rural running.  This is one truck I highly recommend in Kenya for small and medium size traders who wish to maximise their profit margins on short distance or local running within towns, the low maintenance is added advantage.  It's 14 inch radial tubes tyres and it's 175mm ground clearance ensures that the mini truck is excellent for most types of road conditions I rate the Tata mega xl 7 out of 10 as the best mini truck in Kenya.  For purchasing and spares, visit local brokers and dealer.  Also see; tatamotors.co.ke                  jiji.co.ke ...
