I like my diesels,  almost everyone I know who pulls anything other than a small trailer and buys a gas truck always wishes they would've bought a diesel a few months after buying it. I made a huge mistake of buying a v-10 Ford one time, it was a beautiful truck and ran great while it was empty but it was a gutless wonder when I put a trailer behind it, I traded it off because I couldn't sell it nobody would even give me close to payoff for it. I had it in the dealer constantly telling them it wouldn't pull, had a 30ft enclosed car hauler and had to floor it to get it over the Arbuckle's. The service manager told me I would've been happier with a diesel, the salesman said when I was buying it that it would pull anything I had and I would be happy with it because they were cheaper to maintain, never believe a damn salesman! Other than being a gutless wonder, a gas hog and having no re-sale value it was a nice truck! I traded for a Cummins 4x4 dually with a 6spd standard and never bought a gasser again, that was almost 20 years ago, and I just bought a '13 Ram 4x4 dually about 6 months with 30,000 miles on it and couldn't be happier, it has 800 ft lbs of torque with a 3.54 rear end and will run faster than I care to pull a trailer and it turns 1600 rpm's at 70mph so its barely even working.</p></blockquote><p></p>
