That 2004 sounds like a nice towing truck. A 3/4 ton pickup will still be expensive to run as commuter vehicle. For commuting 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year, have you considered getting another used mid-size or full size car to commute in? When the weather is bad you can still drive the 4WD truck, but the car would get most of the wear and tear and a car will be more comfortable to drive. Most full-size cars get 28 MPG or more and mid-size will be in the mid 30s MPG. Tires, oil changes, and repairs on a car will cost 1/2 to 1/3 as much as for a gas 3/4 pickup, them might be 1/3 to 1/4 the cost as for a high mileage diesel pickup.
I'm not saying don't get the pickup if you need it for towing. I'm saying keeping an extra used car for commuting should reduce your driving expenses more than enough to pay for the extra car. Crunch the numbers.
