I'd agree with that. My subaru Legacy Wagon could carry just as much as the truck, had 4wd, and got better mpg in town for everyday driving. However, I ride my bike around town and mostly use my truck for hwy. Today I'm moving a bunch of firewood, so it comes in handy for that. But I'd be stoked to see someone with a little civic with a light trailer, aeromodded to negate it's weight impact.
