Hello and welcome to the site.

No offense, but I think you're a bit hung up on keeping the truck. All of that stuff would easily fit in the 2003 Toyota Matrix I used to have that pretty easily averaged 35 mpg. If thats not enough room, you can always buy a normal car and carry a trailer (which would give you more room than your truck) and still get WAY better than your very hopeful 20 mpg. At the very least you could get a compact pickup that can average mid to high 20s. You really do have tons of options to get rid of the truck.
