The U.S. is so far behind Western Europe on terms of fuel efficient, functional vehicles that we look like a joke. I have a similar truck, too, and towing more than one boat with a six cyl. gas-powered vehicle does not go well, particularly if it's windy or hilly. Wouldn't it be great to get better performance and better gas mileage? Even a 6-liter diesel Ford F-250 gets 20 mpg. Imagine what a small turbo-diesel truck would get.
