Thanks. I'm looking for a vehicle that will temporarily be a daily driver, then it will likely be parked most of the time once wifey gets a compact car (we carpool to work). So it is a bit of a toss-up. However, I don't need to tow more than 4k in the worst case scenario, so a full size truck is never going to be fully utilized.

I'm hoping not to have to put effort in to get 20mpg... that sucks. I've driven one of those old dakotas... that thing is a beast.
