I understand the concept of a full size pickup. I run a backhoe business,and I used to drive a chevy 3/4 ton pickup. I carried 50 gallons of diesel, and assorted tools. I parked the chevy, and now I run a 4 cyl. nissan pickup. I only carry 20 gallons of diesel, which is enough, and whatever tools I might need. what we need is to start taking baby steps, drive a v6 instead of a v8, manual transmission instead of automatic, ect. The american auto makers are going the wrong direction. Every year the pickups get more horsepower, bigger, faster , more power. it's not just pickups, my 84 crx has 60 hp. , A new honda civic can be purchased with 185 hp. Even my motorcycle has 100 hp, and it is nowhere near the top of the ladder as far as hp for a motorcycle.
