Armie Hammer says hes ditching his beloved truck for the sake of downsizing.

On Tuesday, the Social Network and Call Me By Your Name star, 38, confessed in an Instagram post that he can no longer afford gas for the vehicle since he relocated back to Los Angeles, where he was born.

Since being back in L.A., I have put about four or five hundred dollars worth of gas in it, Hammer said of his truck in a video clip. And I cant afford it. I cant afford the gas anymore.

I got a new car, he continued. Its tiny. Its a hybrid. Im probably gonna put about 10 bucks of gas in it a month.

The Lone Ranger actor went on to mourn the loss of the truck, which he said he purchased as a Christmas gift for himself.

I have loved this truck intensely and taken it camping and across the country multiple times and on long road trips, and I took it for one last road trip to CarMax, he explained.

Hammers truck was a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali pickup, People reports .

The actor recalled the memories he made in the truck, including bringing his kids home from the hospital. Hammer is a dad to two young kids, daughter Harper and son Ford, who he shares with his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers.

Heres to new beginnings. Its my birthday tomorrow, he told his followers in the clip before declaring hell be starting my birthday in a new car, in a new apartment, in a new life in Los Angeles.

Wrapping up his message, he thanked his vehicle for years of good memories, I appreciate it all. I hope you take as good [care of] the next person.

Hammer denied those claims, but his career still suffered in the wake of the accusations. He was subsequently dropped from multiple high-profile projects, including a leading part with Jennifer Lopez in the film Shotgun Wedding and a role opposite Julia Roberts in the limited series Gaslit. He was also let go by his talent agency, WME, and his personal publicist, Vanity Fair reports.
