On ordering a truck, the best approach I found is to DEFINE YOUR NEEDS. Do you really need a truck or could you get by w/ a fuel sipping car. I used to tow a 26' trailer w/ the current truck. Now I occasionally haul a light weight camper and tow a m/c trailer.

If I were looking for a new vehicle, I would keep the current truck and get a small daily driver. I don't need a big truck to impress others - much too expensive.

A lot of building trade people that I know are doing the above -going to bid on a job using a small 4 cylinder car. When they get the job, the truck gets loaded up w/ tools, supplies, poeple and off to the job site.

The use of the big truck is being limited in use due to the ever increasing price of fuel. Many, people who use their truck for work are trying to get by w/ smaller more fuel efficient cars - some can do this, others can not.

Hopefully, all of us will see a lowering of fuel prices - it really will help the economy out.
