OIL CHANGES COST MORE ON THOSE TRUCKS (MOST FILTERS ARE MORE AND MOST TAKE 6QUARTS OF OIL, TO 5 QUARTS ON THE LITTE CAR).... IN SOME STATES, YOU CAN PUT STORAGE INSURANCE ON THE TRYUCK AND STILL DRIVE IT ON THE WEEKENDS..... TUNE UPS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE ON THE TRUCK. MILEAGE EFFECTS THE WHOLESALE VALUES ON TRUCKS WORSE IN THIS AREA.... THERE'S SO MANY THINGS YOU CAN GET STUPID ABOUT IT QUICK..... SO ITS NOT JUST GAS MILEAGE

Right, but I just couldn't figure that stuff in really. But you are still maintaining two vehicles instead of one.

So your opinion is a second vehicle would more than likely be better in the long run?
