Hey,
I am new to this site and have never owned a truck. I have snowmobiled my whole life and am currently hauling 2 sleds (both 2012 MXZ 600 and 800 ETECS) in a Triton enclosed trailer (TC-118). Total weight of this rig is about 1900lbs including sleds. My current vehicle is a 2006 Pontiac Torrent and it HATES pulling this! Revs on highway around 3500 RPM and just eats the gas!
I tend to keep my vehicles for 8-10 yrs, and only tow in the winter Dec-March. I pretty much tow the sleds every weekend usually round trip is 500km + each weekend.
The new truck will be an everyday driver and my commute to work is about 100km round trip. There will be a good chance there will be a 3rd sled in the bed at some point.
I am very much leaning towards the Ecodiesel, as I am thinking it will tow better than the gas, and I plan on keeping the truck between 8-10yrs. Not worried about the extra premium I have to pay upfront.
Any reasons looking at my situation you would think I should opt for the HEMI? Or does this validate the need for the diesel.
Thanks guys
