If you are like me and only need a truck for occasional hauling then by far the cheapest thing to do is keep your old pickup for hauling and upgrade your daily driver to an all wheel drive crossover SUV. I also think just about any modern front wheel drive car with traction control works very well in bad weather. The only issue is deep snow that lifts the car up when you drive over it. I only put about 2000 miles a year on my 2001 GMC 2500 2 wheel drive work truck. It lives indoors and will last decades with that amount of use. It has the 6 liter gas and pulls fine. I may only top the hills pulling a load at 55-60mph but does it really matter? At 2000 miles per year I really don't car that much about fuel costs. I average about 20,000 miles per year on my daily driver car. Cheap to operate, cheap to maintain, cheap to replace.
I just laugh when I see new 3/4 and 1 ton diesel pickups going for $60,000 and up. They are obviously selling them but it won't be to me.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
