Wow, $70k for a pickup is crazy - I'd get a used HDT first for much less. I only paid $11k for my 08 F-250 6.4l diesel LB with 108K miles. So far it is doing great. I don't have my FT trailer yet, but I get 17-19 mpg pulling my little Aliner pop-up camper (and low to mid 20s (highway) when unfettered). I'm anticipating getting around 12 mpg towing my FT TT, but time will tell. I will be looking for a TT in the $15k range to FT in, and MPG will be important as we will be on a low budget.
