Re: Diesel vs gas......................

The only reason they are being sold is because the RV manufacturers tell you you gotta have more stuff in and on your RV when you travel. You gotta have your entire damn house and every toy conceivable to man. Step back and look around the campground (I mean RV Resort)sometime and look at the gaudy display of $250,000 plus rigs sitting in the place. Most must have diesels and industrial transmissions because they are hauling their house and garage! You asked for it! You got it! But I guess an 8 to ten year payback for the premium dollars you have to pay for a deisel engine makes it worth it, especially with diesel fuel being so much less than regular fuel! And deisels will last 400,000 miles or more! Lets see! I take 12 trips a year at an average of 300 miles per trip. So that means I will have that damn diesel for about 110 years! Cmon the only people who really need a diesel are the freight companies who travel thousands of miles a year and the oil rigs!

im looking into purchasing an 06' d-max, with the 6-speed ally, i was just looking through the specs in the brochures and it doesnt list, like the others do, the different tow ratings for 4.10 rear end??? does the 06 not have 4.10s as an option??? 3.73s are ok i guess but i was planning on going to a little bit bigger tire in the future and thought 4.10s would be better???? thanks for any info. P.S. after the first time i drove the LBZ d-max and put my gasser up for sale ASAP! in my book theres no comparison485Views0likes0Comments
