Yes, common sense. If hybrids and being politically correct floats your

If an Escalade floats your boat, do so, responsibly. The same applies

Yes exactly. Funny you should use the phrase "float your boat". My boat
wouldn't get very far from driveway without the help of our Ford
Explorer. The KIA Rio that I run to work and back everyday sure don't cut
it in the trailering department. I realize that some people cannot
afford two vehicles. If we had to give up one, despite gas prices,
despite the "environment", it would probably be the Rio. The SUV is just
too useful.

Fine, but you're not typical of the vast majority of truck owners. You
actually have a need for a towing vehicle.


Heh, heh .... I've heard the question on occasion, "What the heck do you
need a truck like that for?" (not knowing that I originally bought it to
tow a fifth wheel camper, now sold)

Next thing you know the same person is calling you on Saturday morning
wondering if they can borrow your truck for an hour or so to pick up
something at the Home Depot. Or (if I am not doing anything) to launch
their boat.
