Worse? Hey, some of us think those places are BETTER :-)

I'd still argue about the truck as daily driver, though. My truck, which I use as a truck, runs about 26-27 mpg on average, and that's mostly loaded or on roads where you need a high-clearance vehicle (if not both). And with a class 3 hitch, it'll pull a trailer with about as much weight again, if needed, though admittedly I have to downshift to 3rd on some of the steeper hills. But my daily driver gets 70+ mpg - and the purchase price of both together was less than half the MSRP of the cheapest bottom-of-the-line F-150.
