[QUOTE="DirtMonkey, post: 379101, member: 2435"] Truth is most people don’t need a diesel for what they tow & the frequency they do it. Newer gas engines are very efficient and have the power to easily pull a jeep or lightweight buggy on a standard trailer. That being said, if you can find a good deal on a diesel, have a 2nd beater to drive every day, do a lot of long hauls, in mtn grades, its hard to beat a diesel for a dedicated tow rig. Personally, I wouldn’t want to drive a diesel truck everyday. As for Diesel, IMO there’s only one answer, Cummins all the way! :dblthumb: The 2003-2006 are getting affordable and they are among the best mpg motors you will find. If you want to turn it into a hotrod, you can reach a lot of power pretty easily. The engine rarely needs attention, but if you do have to work on them, it is a simple motor and cheap to maintain. I get mpg numbers loaded that rival what most gassers get unloaded. :****: [/QUOTE]
