A few years ago, I decided I no longer needed a diesel, so I got rid of "Ol' Big Red" and got a Dodge Ram 1500 with the 360 CID V8. It was great, until I made a trip to Sheridan, WY towing a 7X14 box trailer full of stuff. That poor truck was worked nearly to death.
I sold it, and found a Dodge Ram 2500 CTD.
I will do without a pickup before I go back to a gasser!
The truck in my sig. has 410,000 mile, and I would not be afraid to go anywhere towing (or hauling) anything with it. My wife and kids can dispose of it when I'm dead.
