Should he pull the travel trailer with the Prius?
Comments like this always annoy me. I need a truck that gets good gas mileage, because I need a truck. Asking questions about truck fuel economy don’t need condescending replies, especially on a truck forum, as they are valid questions. If you have the cash not to worry about it, cool. Some of us rather spend on money on the toys we have the truck to haul, rather than just putting fuel in it.
My truck is my access to weekend recreation, daily commuter, and on call response vehicle for work. It sees 500mi/wk, is loaded with required gear 24/7, and gets excellent mileage for it being the minimum size/capability of vehicle for what I need it to do. It’s why I bought it, practicality. Am I concerned about mpg? Yep. Do I drive a truck? Yep. Is that stupid? Not at all, other wise the 6.4 would be the only engine option any of us would need.
