Daily driver here, approx 45 miles round trip.

Waiting until next year when we, hopefully, lease an Electric Focus.

So far in my investigations: The monthly $350 gas bill for the truck would just about cover all the costs for the Focus.

(Will still keep the truck: Elec Focus can't pull the 5th wheel! LOL)

Daily driver here. 2001 F-250 Supercab Longbed 4x4. Between 1200-1500 miles a month. 271,300 and counting. $500 a month gas bill or $500 a month car payment. I like no car payment, and I love this truck.

Steve S.
To many to list.

Daily driver to drop the kid off, total of 5 miles round trip. Drop the truck off and take the JD Gator to work, it helps to live on the property.

I dove my last two PSD super duties daily, back when I had money and the construction industry was going strong. Now days I like the thought of my big blue sitting the pole shed, I do get her out about every weekend and to pull the car hauler in the summer to the track. My daily is a 98 continental 4.6 32 valve intech that gets 20 mpg in town and 27 on the hwy. I own them both and plan to drive them both for a very long time. I also have a 2001 f150 5.4 with a western plow that I use for the driveway and other hauling tasks in the winter when I don;t want to get the SD dirty and have to wash it again. Last winter the SD stayed in the shed from Dec-April.

Ever since some moron slammed into my commuting car and destroyed it (it was sitting in front of my house) I've been driving back and forth daily, 40 mi total commute. Went from about $160 for gas to around $360. I love my truck but the extra $200 a month was nice, although I just spent it on pointless stuff. Yes I got a very nice check for the car but was looking foward to keeping the miles down on the truck and not dragging the sheetmetal through salt covered roads . Oh well.

I dont know man I had to load up my Jeeps new axle with two tires on it by myself last weekend. No lug wrench to remove the tires... and it was hard as hell. I cant even imaging it being like 6" taller + larger tires lol
