Well after reading allot of the BS on here it all boils down to ... IMO...you that have had white knuckle experiences with your 1/2 tons had no clue of what your doing. You know I just got a wild hair up my ...... I said to myself ....self you have an extra 70 G's just layin around gathering dust (and no I ain't givin it to you). So instead of letting the wife use the 150 HD towing machine as a grocery getter, I'll buy her one of them 1500 Ecodiesels. I just love that commercial of that empty truck cruising down the payment empty & from Sam Elliott's narration, I take it, that it can't pull anything anyways, about all it's good for is carrying a couple bags of groceries, if that much and instead of wife getting 17 or 18 mph in town w/the boost she can get 21 or maybe 22 with the diesel. You know come to think of it, that 70 G's must have been a dream + her 2012 Fusion is a great grocery getter at 27 MPH in town. Oh I just love my HD 150. Ain't life great with all our choices. Ya'all have a fantastic day.
