I went diesel. I come from the Jeep world and 3000# isn't *****. I was always yearning for more. With the new house and property, I may get a wild hair and rent some heavy equipment, I may get a hot rod, will def get a bigger camper than the popup. Bacially I did 5 yrs of wanting and there isn't much that I can't tow now. I am getting the same gas milage as I did with the Jeeps and with the rolling hills and days of 50+ mph winds, even better. I just wish we would have gotten a truck/ camper combo instead of the dual Jeeps.
The $.30 + gal of diesel vs. gas, the 3 gal vs. 6qts of oil, adding DEF, the $6k difference on trade-ins, so far I am not kicking myself in the **** too bad.
In the end, I got a truck to be able to do what a truck does best.
