Oh transamz I think you've misunderstood me. I'm not bothered at all about you're studies. I think you guys are a hoot the way y'all feel the need to justify your diesel.

These are not my studies and I personally don't have to justify my diesel because it is a simple fact that a gas truck like mine would not handle my towed load. The combined GVWR's of the two trailers I tow in tandem is 20,XXX# and they are loaded close to that 100% on the time.

I think you are misunderstanding me. I'm saying that I'm pulling a load that a gas truck wouldn't handle day in day out with my diesel and doing it for the same if not less money in the long run that a gas truck would have cost me. People buy diesel trucks for many reasons. Some have to have them, some just do it because they want to but the point that is being made here is that in most they cost no more than the gas version to operate. Now if I were to try and tell you that I buy my Corvettes instead of a Camry because of fuel mileage then you could say I was trying to justify my Corvette.;)
