Does performance ever prove economical? Drivers know this sad answer - no. With every supercharged platform comes a loss of both fuel and dollars, with robust engines demanding endless resources.
The miles are dark; the moon is gone; and you squint at the road, trying to decipher straightaways from tight turns. This is no easy journey you're undertaking, and the lack of light has left you overwhelmed.
The sacrifice is a common one - with drivers trading style for performance. Their big-wheeled pick-ups offer none of the sleek lines they crave, instead emphasizing bulky capability; and every glance is met with resignation. There's nothing to be done about this unfortunate half-ton trend.
The payload demands are many; the cargo boxes prove endless; and you scowl at your pick-up's sagging frame, knowing that it can't accommodate another pound. It's overwhelmed by this summer haul, leaving you without the trailering performance you need.
