60 X 5 = 300 miles per week. That's only about 15000 miles per year commuting. Potholes, winter driving, hills, cold weather starting (I mean really cold)?? Towing, hauling kids around, picking up stuff at lumber yards, farm stores, fishing, hunting, vacation travel?? Check out reliability surveys in Consumer Reports, etc. Hyundia Elantra is now rated higher than Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic and has 100,000 mile warranty to boot and gets 40MPG EPA highway. My commuting mileage is 4 times what yours is and I buy the biggest but best riding and quietest trucks I can find and average year round 19 MPG. That's right. I put about 3000 gallons of gas a year thru it but I never need to have wheel alignment adjusted, pot holes don't faze it (20 inch wheels with big tires) and, with 6000+ pounds of truck, I feel a little safer than in a 2000# commuting car. My son has my previous truck and it has 350,000+ miles on it runs great. I have no doubt that I could put 500,000 miles on my truck with very little repair. These things are important to me: Safety, low noise levels, ride, little or no shop time, economy. I've tried a lot of vehicles over the last 50 years; diesels (MB, VW, Peugeot, Toyota); gassers (Buick, Olds, Ford, Toyota, Jeep etc.); and nothing comes close to a good truck and my current one has 4 doors with all the extras. XM radio, premium sound, leather seats with so many adjustments it took me a week to figure it all out. ESC, ABS, 4WD, GPS, CC, SR, etc. Soooo, your choice.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
