That's about 16,000 miles a year, in a 16 MPG truck, or 1000 gallons spent commuting. Perhaps $3,000 a year in fuel.
If you don't need the utility of the truck at work, it might make more financial sense to commute in a used car that is more fuel efficient. Plus, everything on a truck is more expensive such as tires, oil changes, etc.
I used to rack up a lot of miles on my truck back in the day, but that was when I had a source for $1/gallon fuel, and plenty of time to spend working on trucks. Now I only use it for truck stuff. Just moved a clothes washer yesterday.
