*sigh* the truck has developed a mystery coolant consumption problem and goes into the shop in the AM. Hopefully it's something simple that I missed during my cursory 15 minute diagnosis.

Man I miss having a turbo charged car...<ul><li><a href="http://www.doaracingengines.com/page15/page15.html">http://www.doaracingengines.com/page15/page15.html</a</li></ul>

Default turbo truck.....looks like VW is coming out with a pickup soon, so you can just wait for that.

A VW TDI truck would be very cool....<ul><li><a href="http://www.leftlanenews.com/volkswagen-pickup-truck.html">http://www.leftlanenews.com/volkswagen-pickup-truck.html</a></li></ul>

Default TDI would rock. I've been spoiled by 27 mpg and don't think I could justify a truck that got less.

Especially since it rarely gets used as a truck.

Yes, I don't own a truck: why drive a truck 100% of time when I only need a truck 2% of the time.

Default I love my truck and use it a ton, and it gets 20 mph gallon.

Handy as hell, but yes, if you can't see using one a lot, I wouldn't get one.

Default I probably use it as a truck once a month. The main reason I drive it is because

the AC blows ice cold and I really don't want to expose a nice car to all the salt air at my work. I was also getting tired of hauling lumber, hot water heaters and other building materials in my acura.
