For the gas RV Fifth Wheel Hauler's out here.
Hi everyone, I've been researching for a used 6 sitter truck. That can tow a fifth wheel GVWR 17K. Boy, it is truly a mind blowing experience! I started with diesel. But, from my research. Diesel...

Have not had a BIG 3 pickup diesel using DPF setups. But did put 160K on an mb Sprinter van.......Great rig! No it would not tote 17K lbs........but had no issues with newest emissions products etc.
As far as starting in cold temps....my 92 IDI7.3 is the hardest to start, my 96 6.5 was not bad down to 10F or so, below that it was a knocker for a minute or two. My 05 Dmax was let the glo plugs do there thing, start up, no issues to 0F! My boat is a pain, but it does not have glo plugs or equal. My trackhoe and bobcat, have manual turning on of glo plugs, let the plugs run for 10-20 secs, they also start right up in 10-20F temps......need to let the latter two warm up a bit before use, but that is mostly to get the hydraulic fluid semi warm and moving.
