Congrats. Love my EcoDiesel but if I was going to do a 5er I would get the bigger truck also.

Like the ED to load heavy they either need the air ride or air assist for the coil spring but what a great combo. From the fuelies I have seen where people had both the difference was 8 mpg in mixed driving. Less when towing. Different trucks for different markets.

I'm honestly only seeing a 2-3 mpg difference. I was getting 20-21 mixed rural driving, and now I'm seeing 17-18. It's a trade off that will be well worth it in the end.
