It was a classic! Just has to be dredged up from the archives every now and again? :D

Congrats,hope it works out.
Gilroy, was that you I saw going down the road the other day? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SODkqQ8yO7U
The only is with your truck is it won’t have MDS (switches to 4 cylinders when not under load) and VVT (variable valve timing)
These will make a big difference in your gas mileage.
My 2011 Hemi uses 2/3 the fuel my 2002 did with the 4.7 litre V-8 (smaller motor)
The good news is my 2011 has 330,000 kms, original tie rod ends, ball joints, the drivetrain is still good. My daughter is getting it this summer when I get my new truck.
I hope it works out for you.

Actually the truck gets about the same mileage as my old Jimmy

I think you will have great fun with that truck.My son is on his second,bought a 2016 1500 new,gas model 4x4. Then got looped into a 2018 fully loaded 2500 diesel hd with the cummins engine.Both have been good so far with the exception of a sensor problem on the newer one.He is trying to convince me to buy a eco diesel but I told him I will drive mine until it reaches the scrap yard.I like the Toyota Tacoma as I have always had good luck with Toyota.
