Here's a brain teaser for you.
Someone buys a brand X diesel crewcab dually the works for say $40,000 ? Gets from 10 to 20 mpg depending on load and speed. If it lasts for 200,000 miles its a miricale.
Why not buy a semi tractor for say $105,000 {don't
know what they are now but 5 yrs ago you could}
I't will haul 80,000 lbs all day long and some of them will go a million miles before an overhaul and still get 10 to 15 MPG or maybe more now. Just food for thought another option. By comparison puck-ups are getting terrible mileage.
