Thanks for all the background. Mine was probably a bit cheaper as it has the XLT trim and not Lariet.
But looking under the truck and reading the mods done by Carmelita. As a Ca. truck it has the biggest by far catalytic converter I've ever seen. I don't even want to know what a replacement would cost.
To the OP apologize if your question was hijacked but from the responses I would say many of use have had very good luck towing with older diesels of various brands. As BigToe pointed out new my truck would have been over $50K in 1999. Today I'd be looking at $75K or more. I paid $7 which left room for a $20K toy hauler and a $8K Rzr. All used of course. Yes I would recommend towing with an older diesel. BUT choose wisely grasshopper.
