I have rural FL and TN property. I own a 4x4 F150 that gets exactly 14MPG. Sure, it's a waste when it carries just one 4 wheeler. But, it can carry both a 4 wheeler and a big dirt bike at the same time, without a trailer.
Plus, I load up the back with gravel for the driveways, mulch for the flower beds, potting soil for my raised garden and so on. There is no way on God's green earth that a small vehicle can move that much weight. I suppose a bed chock full of gravel is about 3000 pounds!
Plus, I can tow my 26 foot travel trailer from FL, to TN without difficulty. While carrying said 4 wheeler and dirt bike.
However, I don't use it as a daily driver. That's a waste of a perfectly good and long lasting, hard working truck.
And the cost of my truck was EXACTLY the same a a common 2010 Toyota Camry. That's not "insane". That's getting your money's worth.
