My daily to work is usually my '97 F-150, she's got 189,000 on her now, but she still runs and looks good. I don't drive the Powerstroke too much to work, with diesel being so high, I mainly drive it on the weekends.

My daily driver is a regular cab 1996 Ranger XLT 4 cylinder. it has 54,500 miles on it.
Weekend driver is a 2005 F350.CC.PSD.LWB.FX4.DRW.auto.King Ranch. 41,000 miles.
What the 350 costs in diesel in a week I can run a whole month with the Ranger.
Only problem with the Ranger is it's 0-60mph in 10 minutes.

2003 PSD lairet, crew cab, short box, automatic, 90,000 miles and counting, drive it everyday, unless my wife has her sable at home then I drive that to save some $$ on fuel. I would RATHER drive my pickup, but it would be a BETTER idea to pay for her gas. To bad the sable didnt have a hitch on it or I would probably try and pull my race car trailer with it...

Mine are hard on fuel too and as much as I drive it does hurt the wallet. But I wouldn't have it any other way. The day just doesn't feel right if I ever have to drive something else.

I bet we could too, but I think that the wife would HIGHLY 
frown upon us towing trailers around with her sable... it would be a REALLY funny sight to see though... 
Could you imagine a black 01 sable pulling my demo car (1972 Fury) down the road? LOL
