What you save in $$ you gain in stress or shall I say driver input.
The exhaust brake makes descending hills much easier vs. coming down with a gasser.
I prefer to have the truck do the work vs. the driver doing the work....
Lantley,
From your sig pic, I would wholeheartedly agree that a diesel is what you need. Compared to my old Ford 6.0 diesel , my stress level is sooooo much lower. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the newer Ford diesel engine despite it's sterling reviews.
Also, my payload is entirely in the bed. I don't foresee towing. The manual mode of the six speed tranny made descending Colorado mountain passes effortless.
Clearly we stress for different reasons.
