yeah the gas mileage will probally suck, but from what i've heard they get anywhere from 16-23ish on the interstate running about 65-75ish, a co-worker got rid of his about 3 months ago, and he stated about 21-23 at about 70, i was impressed. of course everyones driving styles is different.

i thought about a new/newer half ton, but then i'd still be wanting something bigger, so i figure why not go alll the way. :)

D-Max does get fairly good mileage for what they are. We have several in our fleet and they are nice truck. They will last a long time.

In all seriousness, If you want cargo, People room, and Comfort, Get a Dodge Sprinter Van. 5 Cyl Diesel, Gets amazing MPG.

But for a P/U, '03 Ford F-350 Powerstroke.
