We have had our Sequoia in the garage as a dedicated tow vehicle for 4 years now. We keep up the maintenance, and drive it once per week long enough to get everything up to operating temperatures. We have 4 kids, so finding a 20 mile trip to take it on is no problem at all. As for the cost, since we drive so much, the monthly gas savings between 14 mpg and 32 ( for my Nissan cube ) pays for the payments, maintenance and insurance on the cube.
Yeah you're right on the lines I am thinking. There's a great savings to be had with my little Cruze 4 banger engine, 34 MPG combined because I have a light foot.
So that means I can get 2 trips to work and back for the price of 1 in a truck in gas.
My longer term plan is to get a Volt or something similar. My company offers free electric vehicle charging and will for the forsee able future because we are the traffic cop for the power grid.
But, they are expensive up front. However I see the days of paying for gas coming to a complete end for me going to work!
