Big SUV or truck
Looking for a tow vehicle for our new trailer. 5500# GVWR and tongue weight is around 650# loaded but may be more if we add bikes in our internal bike storage area. I've got 4 options I'm consider...

$800 stroller? And you're worried about the cost of fuel and that an SUV costs more than a pickup?
Hey, I don't have any other baby gear. We skip almost everything else that people would buy and I make a splurge on a stroller. It doesn't mean I have 15K more sitting around to buy an SUV over a truck. And selling the stroller isn't going to get me that 15K. ;) As for fuel costs, that's never ending. The stroller was a one time cost and can be resold next year for $400. I can't resell fumes. And using less fuel is a simple way to help the environment just a little, as is going for walks with my $800 stroller. :)
And I'm not concerned about mileage while I'm towing. I'm concerned about it for the 8-9 months of the year that this vehicle won't be towing a travel trailer. ;)
