If you cant afford diesel, you probably cant afford the truck!
Step down to a "little" guys truck
right. Geo's pull great. We're talking about tow rig here bud.
Your either not very smart financially or totally loaded if you don't weigh in fuel mileage as a consideration on a vehicle you're going to be driving and towing with. If you can cut 1 tank of gas off of your monthly bill by having a more fuel efficient truck, then you saved yourself almost 100 bucks. I don't know about you, but I can think of a ton of ways to spend 100 bucks every month aside from fueling up my truck.
My solution was I bought a commuter car. It's no Geo, but it gets 35 mpg and I'm in it under 500 bucks. Saves me 6 bucks every day I drive it to work instead of my truck.
