IMO, this is not going to work out like you hope. I often wish my eco had better FE because it's used as the family hauler with 25k miles put on in the last year. $400/mo+ for gas gets old... I think about having an economy car to use for DD status, but if I spent $150/mo on the car to double the mileage, and add another $50/mo for insurance/tags/etc., then it doesn't look so good only saving mileage on the truck at best.
That's what I find as well. I really hate to drive this truck into the ground. The limited build seems to be holding a high value now, which is another reason I have contemplated dumping her. I have basically driven the truck for 45k miles for the cost of fuel, oil changes, and insurance. Oops, I did do tires this summer.
I priced downsizing the trailer and going EcoBoost, but at four years out, I am waaaay upside down, or have more debt than I care to have. We bought our trailer used and basically stole it, but even with very good equity, a new trailer is out for now.
Guess I will drive on until next spring as I approach 100k on the truck and review it all again.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
