Modding the pickup would be great, but modding the commute would be the easiest and biggest improvement. You've got years of commuting ahead, but for the next year someone's willing to drive it for you. Mod the truck and enjoy the better mileage, but enjoy the door to door service, the rest and the big savings while they're there. There isn't a car in the Ecomodder garage that beats 40 miles per day of not having to drive.

When you are in the truck, see what you can do to make the start and stop part more slow and gentle.
