Depends on how often you want to rebuild the eng or buy a new truck.
As well as how you want to pull. 90% or more of my towing is between 1100' elev @ home and 7400' @ camp. So I see the gassers gasping on 10+ miles of 6/7% on 2 lane rd with a half mile jam behind them. Just a few passing lanes that are short and very limited places to pull over to allow the traffic go.
Second. I don't wan't or need a new truck every 2 yrs. I've had mine about 8 yrs and plan on it being the last one I buy. I have only put 50K on it since purchased. At that rate it will surely out live me. No payment, high ins & tags for me. I'll spend the savings on fuel anf tow comfortably.
But everyones needs & desires are different. If not only one truck would be offered and we would miss all this fun conversation. Just remember to keep your gassers to the right please.
