Dunkler, sounds like you made a really good decision! I wish more people would use a little math in thier vehicle choices. Seems most decisions here in the land of cheap gas are made on emotion.

Hopefully you are getting rid of the F150. For the money you will likely spend on repairs, if you need the hauling capacity you could buy a trailer hitch and a harbor freight trailer and have 1000 lbs of carrying capacity.

My harbor freight trailer has seen alot of abuse in the 6 years I've been using it and still works well. It's really ugly now but it more than doubles the hauling capacity of the little truck. It's light too, could easily be pulled by the Fit.
