I started looking at trucks, specifically the ford f150 and titan when I listed my evo for sale a month ago, but have you looked at the fuel economy of them?
14/18 in the ford, so I would figure on 14-15. I am getting 12 in my ford now....
not much of an improvement.

I feel quite sure it will be the only yellow one in MS also, and I can assure you it will be in good hands.

I suppose in the world of sports cars, they are fast, but after having an evo it was a disappointment..
I kinda have the feeling that almost everything short of a GT2 will be a dissapointment. But then again they do have evo IX available and a SE available in sept. time frame. Good luck. Just think about the evo as a girlfriend that you got to get your cookies from everyday and now she's gone. Just remember the good times.

I think he wants a REAL TRUCK (V8). If so, PLEASE drive a Tundra. It honestly feels very well mannered and has good power. The gas mileage isnt all that bad either. Good Luck.

if u want a mix of truck and performance, and don't care much about fuel economy, go for the srt-10 truck

just the idea of having a viper engine in a truck is pretty cool. good luck with your search though. my dad owns a tundra v8, and it was a very nice truck. but the srt10 pulls pretty hard for a truck

However, you could just go to TopSpeed in Mid-May to get a custom Dynoflash tune (road or dyno).
I hope you're on Al and Dave's payroll!
