This is the wife... Hi folks and thanks for the input. This is my issue. While I realize a diesel is supposed to be a better tow, it's also a lot more expensive in the way of gas. We have planned a few short trips for the rest of this year to ease our way into the lifestyle and be sure we are able to tow well with the Durango we already own. However, we would love to plan some much longer trips in the near future. Living in TN, there are routes we would be taking that will take us over some pretty steep passes. What would the suggestion be if we specifically did not want diesel?
