Which motor should we get.

I think we are going to go with a 3/4 ton. It will be nice to have it if we do ever upgrade and get a bigger rig. I am looking at spending right at $30,000, we have been saving up for a couple of years. Our goal is to full time in another year and that is why we are upgrading the truck. Thanks for all the information. I think we are leaning toward the diesel but still not sure yet. I will start looking hard next month and then it will be a money thing with the diesel.
Just look closely at the payload numbers for a 3/4 ton diesel. At least with the Ford F250, a fully loaded version with the additional diesel weight can have less payload than some F150's.
With the diesel option, an F350 would be better payload-wise.
