Now is a good time to not be buying a truck or suv.
I hear gas in Texas is approaching $1 per gallon.
Anytime that happens everyone runs out and buys a huge gas guzzling land yacht.
Now is the time to be buying a fuel saver because no one wants them.

I bought my Nissan leaf in 2017 when gas prices hit like 6 or 7 year low.
I bought my 6.6mpg 454 powered suburban in 2015 when it was accepted that $3.50 a gallon was juat going to be the new norm, hell they practically paid me to take it.

You will like putting heavy things on and off a trailer that about 1 foot off the ground.
Have you seen the new trucks they make, the tail gate opens and sits about 3 feet off the ground, yeah that's cool if you have a forklift.
