I disagree with sticking with the truck for that short drive. That big engine never even gets up to operating temp. The short drive is actually bad for it.

It is well worth it to get something in addition for that commute.

I've sourced so many free/nearly free econoboxes, how can tabs, insurance, maybe some parts, and using 1/3 the fuel not pan out?

An electric bike like mine would be perfect. No pedalling, no gasoline.
