I know you just got the thing, but consider its intended mission profile. Do you need that much truck? You're taking a huge amount of steel for a cross-country tour every day just to get back and forth to work; unless you're dropping five kids off at school every day I would strongly consider ditching that big thing in favor of something smaller and much more economical.

And even if you are taking five kids to school every day, you can get into the middle 20s for fuel mileage just by getting a minivan. And then ecomod that.
