Quick Truck Question
So pretty soon here I am looking to do some travel through Mexico, on four wheels this time, instead of two. I have been planning and troubleshooting my potential rig options as to what would best...

Simple answer
Gasoline
Ultra low sulfur Diesel is only sold in Baja, some cities along the border and no where else in the rest of Mexico, the urea treatment additives for the catalytic to work are sold again only in the border areas.
Stay with gasoline, gas motorcycle, gas truck, gas generator I will recommend the small Honda unit, depending on the load that you need, if you go off the beaten path gasoline is easier to find not so much Diesel and many times it is contaminated with water.
Keep in mind that there are more Ford dealers than Chevrolet and Dodge in Mexico.

Only northern baja for ULSD. My buddy Dan Goy who runs Baja Amigos caravans always told be it was ULSD over all of Baja. Last year he had a late model Ford go into limp mode after the customer drove it around for month on short trips unloaded. As Ted White points out, the key with a ULSD truck is to only drive it under load. As for dealers, as I mentioned in my other posts, you can easier get a Dodge diesel engine worked on down here. My 2003 chev had injector issues last year and I had to drive it to Texas. Finding a diesel mechanic capable of the 12 hour job to change them was impossible. That is when I decided I had to change it.
