My treehugger pickup truck

I used to own a lovely Chevrolet pickup truck which I used to complete a great deal of the tasks around the house. Carrying: firewood, building materials, plants, mulch, furniture, etc. While I really did enjoy having this truck I could not justify the poor gas mileage any longer so I bought my 1999 Volkswagon Jetta TDI. For those of you who do not know the Turbo Diesel Jetta's get exceptional fuel economy. I average approximately 47-48 miles to the gallon most of the time and I use B20 fuel which is 20% biodiesel made from Soybeans, Canola, etc. But by doing this I lost my truck ability, so for approx. $150.00 I just had a reciever hitch and lights installed on my Jetta and now have what I call a treehugger pickup. By the way, the little thing has some pretty decent capacity as well. I wound up overloading this trailer with mulch at the Council Bluffs recycling center and pulled 1528 lbs of mulch home with no problem. It was awesome!

Here is the picture.
