[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 986133, member: 18682"] Up here diesel is favored for pulling heavy loads, however I have seen gas F 150 pulling a 16'featherlite trailer. Now it is probably had a decent sized motor under the hood.But some of those great big motors will pass everything on the highway except a gas station. :nod: Something you should realize is that you have to have adequate cooling ability for your transmission, or it can overheat which will shorten the life of your trany. In this area Dodge ram 4X4 --3/4 ton diesel is vehicle of choice for a very very high portion of the population.The reason being the body can handle the winter high road salt conditions without rusting out real fast, and combine that with a cummins diesel engine it can take a beating, and 4X4 because we have alot of snow, muck and mud,combine that with getting stuck in a field or in the bush somewhere, and not having to walk a zillion miles to get someone to pull you out. Many of the older Chevy / GMC diesel had injector problems and had to have re-builds at low mileage, which is major $$$$. The ford powerstroke were a good engine, but the older ones just couldn't handle the salt that is put on our roads during the winter and rusted real fast. In the coastal / desert areas of B.C you will see more non 4X4 trucks and more Fords and chevy trucks. This is what is and has been used in our area, but in different areas of course different climates /situations require a different vehicle. [/QUOTE]
