If you want a sweet truck that looks good, has tonnes of power, and is fun to drive, get a TITAN.
I have seen 16-20 mpg, between 85-75 mph. unloaded hwy. 12-16 mpg. hovering around tha city's posted speed limits of 60 thru 25 mph.

My '05 XE 4x1 with stock sized street tires might have an advantage of being a little lighter than your better loaded '05 4x4. You say BS, I say I got one badazz truck tricked from the factory.

Usmc, if you need to haul or tow something bigger that what could fit in or be dragged by the Civic get the Titan for sure. I totally agree with NB's last sentence.
