87 rusted out Suburban most days. Gets the same mileage in town as the 03. Plus, I work 2 miles from the house and hate to drive the diesel that short of a distance if I can help it.

I drive the truck in my sig.

The radio sometimes quits working, but then I open the window a little to hear that other nice tune...
Rear window that is, the ones in the door doesn´t work no more, drivers side dropped inside the door last winter when I opened it in the -10*c snowy windy day.... awaaayyy fuse.

But I still smile everytime I turn that key.

My 2012 CTD QC 4x4 Laramie, 2007 CTD QC 4x4 SLT, & VW TDI GOLF are all just toys and yard fixtures... lol

Buick Park Avenue Ultra, but the truck gets exercised at least once a week. If diesel gets cheaper than premium though...

wow im suprised at the amount of ppl that use their trucks almost daily. the shortest trip my trucks ever made is accross my yard. after that the closest store is 15km. the truck gets at least 15000-20000 a year. i cant find another vehicle, in gas, that gets the milage my truck does, and will survive being regularly driven on gravel roads.

daily drive 50 round trip to work

and for the most part my daily driver is a 98 honda passport, 25-30 mpg, but since it is loaned out right now, im driving my 05CR 18-16 mpg, at best.. my 12V is being daily driven now while the 05 is in for ball joints and front end repairs... and with the fuel at stock position, this thing is right at 25 mpg at 65 mph...

My daily driver is considered a collector car by some. 2002 Formula Firehawk, less than 50 were made in it's configuration. I'm no collector I drive it rain or shine until it's time to pull something.
