Alot of reasons you still see large trucks on the road is the bottom $$ line. My truck is paid for, 1999 model F350, the only thing it cost me is insurance. Yes, it costs a fortune to fill it up. But by the time you add a payment for a more economical care, insurance and then STILL have to buy gas...I come out cheaper. Plus my truck will do things that I could not do in a car. BTW...I would never own a car. I want something big enough so that if some fool hits me, I have a chance of survival. Just my 2¢ worth. So having a payment and a car is NOT always the most economical decision...
