I put about 2,600 miles on my 2500HD during the first year. I really do not worry about the price of gas for that truck. It is only used for camping and hauling around the house.
But, that also means I have multiple vehicles, which does have a cost.
At that rate, in 20 years, when I turn 76, it will have around 52k miles on it. Being parked outside, the body may rot out before the engine wears out.
Another factor for the large truck consideration...
Towing the TM reduces my fuel economy only by about 2 to 3 mpg, and that is towing in the Sierras.
