Starting the new truck hunt

What ever truck you go with keep gas prices in mind. They are going up with this new administration's plans for repairing roads and everything else. Some who think the time has come for a gas tax increase like tolls also and are pushing the states to get involved in helping rip up the roads and replace them. All this is going to cost billions and guess where they will get the money, no one seems to care that many of us can not afford this so they will probably end up with nice shiny new highways with electronic tolls that no one uses. We accidentally ended up on a toll road near Denver. We were the only ones on it except for a couple of other out of state lost souls. The fancy collection system was impressive almost worth getting lost except grabbing my wallet was not fun with all the seat belts to unhook and hook every twenty miles. This new toll road was bright and shiny almost like no one every used it! We have a 04 Suburban it does well except in mountains where you need 1st gear and then the locals pile up behind you using sign language to describe your effort to climb the hill. We are going to use this suburban until it has a heart attack then put an end to decades of camping as the new tow vehicles are not worth the kids college accounts or our 401K. I think if every congressmen and the president were not so hyped on raising the gas tax we might consider an older Suburban or Yukon Denali but those old giants burned a lot of gas so your caught between a rock and a hard place. Maybe diesel should be considered I know we will be looking at hybrids and electrics. One of those should take care of our needs until the Feds figure out how to tax these new 50mpg vehicles, wish we could find one that tows 7,200 lbs maybe some day!
