[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 211361, member: 2862"] Clem, as others have mentioned, if you're towing alot, no gas engine will keep pace with a diesel while still maintaining good fuel economy and low maintenance. As for me, I'll never drive another gas engine truck again. Up here, the diesel engine costs another $5500, however after 2 years, the diesel truck is worth more than the original $5500 difference when trading in. After 5 years, the gap has spread to $10,000 - $12,000 difference between the two. After 10 years, the gas engine truck is worth nothing (3 or 4 grand), while the diesel engined truck will still fetch $20K. Check with Kelly Blue Books and see what the spread is in your area. I think you'll find very similar spreads, so unless you absolutely for sure will drive the truck until it drops over, the diesel will pay for itself, and then some. Rod [/QUOTE]
