Naw... no you guys.... :S Your all missing the point to this discussion:B.
Take a moment and think about this 1/2 ton truck, at what weight do you consider weight becoming the biggest hazard with this truck?
At what point does a good 3/4 ton diesel begin paying for itself just in counting mileage costs alone?!. At some point the better truck becomes a free truck and even a savings account in the long run. This just fuel/ mileage cost alone. Right?
Now considering the marginal safety at best with this 1/2 ton..... it seems there's no use whatsoever to keep talking about this truck. Who would consider such a thing when a diesel truck would pay for 4 of them things easily:@:B
