Doug, you sound like someone who really NEEDS the truck. But the majority of 
pickups and SUVs never leave the city, never venture on unpaved roads and 
never carry any load along the lines you describe. There is a reason why 
SUVs are known as "Chelsea tractors".

I also use the truck at times for other purposes, rather than purchasing 
(insuring, storing, maintaining) an additional vehicle with lower fuel 
consumption.  I don't judge others' use of their larger vehicles when I 
don't see them hauling a load.

Sometimes my truck is on the road without a load, but since I use public 
transportation for my commute the truck's annual use is much less than the 
average car is used.  The truck's annual fuel use is about the same as 
SWMBO's 50 MPG car.
