If I can toss something in here. In Ontar4io diesel runs roughly $2.25 to $2.30 per liter, 4.5 liters to a gallon. I get roughly 8 liters per 100km hwy. So to go visit my daughter 500km away it costs me roughly $90. My BMW it costs roughly $130 running premium. I take my daughters VW TDI and it costs my $40 because her car gets 4 to 4.5 liters per 100km. So the BMW I do the trip 1 way in about 4 hours cuz I cruise at like 80 nor 90 all the way. The TDI takes about 5-1/2 hours because it has no passing power on 2 lanes hwys.
My truck takes about 5-1/2 hours but I stretch out, have room for the whole family and 1/2 my house plus my dog stretched out in the back seat and he is 4' long and 150 lbs weather be damned. I flip into 4x4 high and go if I need
The truck is reasonable, super comfy and looks great. Its my favorite vehicle. Mtce costs and any def costs are negligable, all vehicles have them.
The real reason I drive the truck though! I can't find a sofa that gets me to where I wanna go for any cheaper, Planes, Trains just don't cut it. But a big comfy truck now that is heaven.
