What's the mileage like on those? I had done some reading up and was considering one of those instead of a bus.

We're picking up the newer series of 5 tons, which get about 7 MPG with the latest revision turbo diesel. Earlier ones get about 4.

Little hard to swallow the fuel cost if you're planning on back-and-forth trips, but my route is a long, drawn out squiggle across north and south America, so we'll only be doing a few hundred miles a month. And, hey, no rent to pay!

Where are you getting your 6x6s from?
Trucks, and everything else your tax dollars go to that the US government doesn't want, all sell at auction on http://govliquidation.com for pennies on the dollar.
