I'm all about saving gas, but spending $5000 or so to swap will take a long time to pay off.

Thats like the hybrids, I didn't understand why people were going out and spending $20-30k on a car to save gas money???
The wife was wanting a new car and the Toyota hybird was about the same price and gets much better mpg so that is why she went with the Toyota. We get about 46-48 mpg and very happy with it. We traded in our 2004 Jeep Liberty 4 wheel drive. But I would not sell my truck and put that kind of money out for the milliage.
