I always appreciate everyone's posts. Lots of great information.
I am thinking a Chevy/GMC 3500 diesel to go with it. I am going to be in the neighborhood of 25-30k a year, so thinking diesel is just the better way to go.
Based off of the data I can find on weights, the AF plus myself and the kids when with me will be right at the top of the payload for the trucks. My initial pick was the 1140, but the 990 keeps the weight under the payload rating.
In your travels and experiences, is there a reason I should really consider a gas motor other than the initial cost?
The additional payload with gas would open up my options.
