Which truck should I get...

[matts5.0]

Oh fuck that nonsense. Makes me want to look hard at the Dodge ecodiesel. If Toyota would just make a diesel tacoma I would buy that, but for some reason they refuse to release one. Is a mid size diesel truck that gets north of 28 mpg highway and can tow 6500-8500 pounds too much to ask?

Get a truck and a cheap ass honda, gas mileage and truck have never really been known to go together.

LOL, the 2001 F150 Lightning was over $32K base price, in 2001...

and for it's time, was a better performance truck when compared to the market.
And you could still fit 3 in it.

Yes. No market for it

I use the shit out of my truck, it wouldn't do me much good to have a daily because I would still drive the truck about 60% of the time.

Yeah, you must have a lead foot. My Tremor has 4.10's and I get 20-21mpg... If i am constantly in the gas (in boost) is quickly drops to 15-16...

On the highway to maintain around 80 with the gears in it the display comes nowhere near staying at the 20 mpg mark. No way I can drive 55 - 65 on the highway unless there is traffic forcing it. Just not in me to do it.

With a tail wind on a longer trip I can get maybe low 16.xx mpg's but that is it. I am sure if I drive 60 - 65 I might get the 20ish mpg's they claim and some of you experience but it just feels like I am getting nowhere and I do not like to drive next to people. They swerve around and do to much stupid sh*t for me to hang around next to them.

Oh well it is what it is for me, I miss the 2010 FX2 with the smaller V8 as it worked fine for me to get around in. I had reasons for getting rid of it and just wished I'd been smarter about what "I" really needed before I bought this one. It is a nice truck though.
