Since you love to modify, thought I'd provide something to shoot for

A friend of mine has one. He bought it to commute to his ranch in central Texas from Dallas. The Dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 was going through a little more gas than he wanted, and he has another truck parked at the ranch.

He claims he gets about 50 mpg and he just loves it to death. The payments on it are also just a bit more than he was spending in gas each month.

They are the coming thing.

My sister just bought one to replace here 500ML. The good thing about it is she will visit me more often.
