X2 buy the truck that fits your needs, when you need to do truck stuff.
Have a gas sipper for daily driving needs.
My 17 3500 has 23K miles on it, I bought it new, it gets used for towing and truck stuff 10 mpg.
My daily is a 23 Wrangler with a 4 cyl, just today took the granddaughter for a long ride to the game farm, lunch etc it got 23 mpg, it now has 17K miles on it, and I bought it new.
I plan on wearing it out, it does not make sense to drive a truck that gets 1/2 the mileage everyday.
