Those four door Dodge half tons drive real nice. I owned one for a while. They will get lossy mileage for a half ton pickup. Mine never did better than 18 mpg. Short hoop driving around town 10 mpg. Replaced it with a 2005 Chevy with the 5.3 v-8. Get much better mileage. low twenties for most running. Short hoop driving 15 mpg. Also remember that Dodge half tons have the rep of bad automatic transmissions.
If you think about what you are doing here I think you will regroup. 1) You are going to double the cost of driving to WORK!!!! Everyday!!!! 2) Sounds like you are going to go up in value of vehicle you are driving. So your depreciation cost of ownership is going to go up too.
The only way I would consider doing this is if you get a beater to drive to work. Then the pickup for the family time.
