Hi all,
I'm in a similar situation as a, albeit part-time, farmer. I
unfortunately get tarred with the same proverbial brush as the SUV
people because I actually _need_ a full-sized pickup to do useful stuff.
If someone can figure out a way I can get 40 Mpg with a full-size truck
-OR- a innovative way to fit a couple dozen hay/straw bales in a Honda
Civic and still navigate a muddy field I'll certainly listen ;-)
> SUVs just seem silly to me.
I haven't figured out the "need" either. I guess minivans are passe now,
so it had to be something.

I could use some of those. (I have slight wildlife issue I need to
address ;-))
