I live in Arkansas as well, and while a truck is nice for hauling stuff, for bad weather I would prefer a front wheel drive car with good tires or an SUV. A truck does poorly in bad weather compared to an SUV; the rear tires just don't have that much traction without adding a ton of stuff in the back. Even at that, if a truck is necessary, an s-10 with a 4 banger will do quite well in bad weather with sufficient weight in the back, yet still fetch 25-30 mpg if its a stick and driven well.
One must wonder how young this guy was; very is my guess.
