Let's do the math:

Truck, w/ 4WD, not beat to hell, comfortable enough for long drives, and large enough to tow a car: $10,000 minimum...
+ gas @ <10mpg
+ never driving it around town because it's too big
+ where do I park it?

= way too much money, and it wouldn't really keep me from putting miles on the WRX

'94 SVX: $2000 + repairs to get into good shape
+ gas @ 24mpg
+ driving it everyday instead of the WRX keeps miles of the car that's actually worth something
+ fits in the garage
+ extremely comfortable on long trips
+ capable in snow

= much better idea.
