The story is i work in manhattan, i live on long island. So i take the train in now and that wont change at least for another 3 years when i make the jump from EMS to fire. I work 5 days a week basically, the only thing my 03civic is doing is getting my to the station and back. Im currently paying a loan off on it with full insurance, plus insurance on my blazer. Im looking to save up 4-5k and get a near mint m1028 cucv to replace my blazer. And then it dawned upon me. Why not just sell the civic since the most driving i do is around town or to the station? The only thing is the truck probably wouldnt be good on long trips. I mean top speed is like 50mph right? And im sure it has no noiseproof padding so itll be loud and ride alot harder than my civic for when i do need to drive. and no music. So the only thing is i dont think the cucv is suited for long trips? So really, think its worth keeping the car and the truck? Id be saving a little over 300 a month if i dump the car, but id loose the ability of long trips and a more comfortable ride. IDK anyone with cucv daily drivers?
My second question is, i never owned a diesel, only a gas k5. How do the pickups/diesels drive and what do i need to know about them thats different from gas? How do they ride on stocksetups, again for daily drivability? Thanks.
