[QUOTE="200racing, post: 243756, member: 5383"] diesels has higher fluid capacities for towing= more $$$$ to do the routine stuff. also new diesel have urea injection so you have upkeep there or $$$$ for a delete system you just have to see if the cost are worth it. my dad and i killed a half-ton f-150 4x4 in 175,000 miles with hobbies and work. the family has a v-10 excursion as well. it like gas as you can expect as is not very peppy. i drove my buddies 2 dodges with cummins and fell in love. last fall i bought a 2000 2500 ctd ext-cab 4x4 6-speed stick and 6in lift. i get 18 mpg dd. i dont think there is a gasser that can do close to that with that kind of power. on the flip side i have to buy 3 gal of oil for a oil change. if you WANT a diesel and have no need for one look for a first gen dodge (ugly as sin i know). should be cheap enough you could save up the cash and not have payments. https://auburn.craigslist.org/cto/2787998586.html https://montgomery.craigslist.org/cto/2838452957.html the first gen have the 12 vavle cummins that is considered by many the best truck engine ever. it use no electronics,with fuel and a jump start it will run on a shop floor.
