Do you get plenty of horsepower though?
Plenty for me at least. I don’t want to race, I can pull a load if needed, I have a comfortable ride with room enough for my six four, 260 pound body and I don’t have to pay a fortune in property taxes and insurance. The gas mileage doesn’t really matter when I drive so little. A new truck would not only cost a year’s income, it would increase my tax bill a lot more than I would save on fuel.
