My '04 F150 with 5.4 triton does about 10 mpg. My wife drives it to/from work. I drive the Accord because I have twice as far to go. The two black labs go in the back when we take them somewhere; wouldn't want them inside the car of any sort.

Thought I'd pull a trailer when I bought the truck (used); haven't yet. Does yard work real well. Half the price of a Toyota of the same vintage: I can buy lots of gas for that difference considering the low mileage it sees. I love driving it the odd time that I do. I've considered getting a more efficient truck but I'll spend more $$ to get the relative same thing, so I just pour it in the tank instead.

Now if we put lots of miles on it, it would be a different thing, but one way or the other, with the yard and two dogs I'll always have a truck.
