    Mini Van vs Full size pickup

    OK

    A pick up is easy to load and easy to keep organized . If your a hunter you will have to drive slow to keep fuel MPG in reach of a mini.
    & especially when loaded fuel MPG is not worse .



    A mini still with roof use holds plenty & can get around faster then a pickup with out a fuel penalty . That is till you really load it up then a pick up is better .

    A pickup loaded gets less odd ball looks from people

    The pickup cabin can be kept clean wile all heck goes on in the cargo area

    I have found the sweet RPM to be of 1000 to 2000 driving mellow at those ranges delivers fine MPG for the tasks at hand .
    not worst then a mini. BUT drive like a idiot and you will pay at the pump , Wile a Mini could care less.

    I Love my pick up . Thank God I have a pick up , I need a car trailer & this truck has the bumper to prove it.
