My encounters have almost exclusively been butterflies and field mice, but once in 2018 I was fueling up in the middle of nowhere and had a local show me his plaster cast of a footprint.

My buddy's birthday is in a couple days. I didn't know what else to get him, so I got him a weekend pass.

Cost of fuel vs cost of an additional vehicle and what it would take to make it comfortable and reliable, sticking with the truck is your best bet. Also, your MPG assumptions of the vehicles you don't have are very optimistic.
