The diesel pickup guys are happily hard-headed.

A lawsuit in Oregon quotes the plaintiff as, ". . represent[s] his "redneck" lifestyle, where family comes first, and people enjoy hunting, fishing and driving four-wheel-drive trucks through the mud.

A local obituary this morning cited the deceased's love of wood-cutting, fishing and mudding.

Plenty of sub-forums on performance & repairs, a few on alternative fuels. No specific one on economy.

That said there are some ding-dang smart guys when it comes to making things last over 6-700,000 miles while working the truck for a living. And some quite conversant on FE. But not in the majority. FE is sort of an algorean proposition, like wearing a beanie cap with a spinner. Mouthbreathers.

But plenty of threads to this end. No one is coming out of the closet, per se, but it's funny to note the fast rate of replies and views per day in re this subject.
