And indeed, what we mean by "road" :-) I never really drive off road (except occasionally to do things like load wood), but many of the roads I do drive are rough dirt and fairly steep. There have been occasions, for instance when getting wood in the mountains after a bit of snow, that I've had to put chains on the front wheels in 4WD.

In which case truck spec rules out 30-mpg (short of some world-truck Japanese diesel which are not sold here) for on-road economy.

I disagree, since I average about 27 mpg in a stock Toyota 4WD, which I almost never drive unless some part of the trip is with load or on rough dirt, or both. With a few aeromods 30 mpg highway should be doable.
