I prefer a horse and buckboard...far cheaper than any gas/diesel guzzler, but since we are talking fuel...I use gas. It's cheaper and my little truck doesn't take a whole lot like my fathers full size chevy.

Love me the rumble of a diesel engine!
It really depends on the use though... I'd love to have one but right now it is a waste.

It is a shame the US has such an aversion to diesel, it is a much better fuel in a lot of different ways.

I bought one today! :lol:
I am a whole lot poorer right now :( but happy as a clam for what I got :D


Dodge 2500 Cummins Diesel 4X4 Mega Cab Flame Red. (We are talking big big truck and we love it)

mega cab is outrageous. the amt of room in the back seat has my mind blown. the roar is wild and the ride is so darn smooth. 34 gal. gas tank which I love. filled up at 3.95 and took 28 gals and cost 112. kill me...haha

Tony a tad weary on the red but Nicole and I said we love it. something bright and cheery

long day of negotiating. darn near left 2 times and each time 'he got us before we shut the door to leave' to talk a bit more lol

but I am glad the debate on a new truck is over. actually got tiring looking for what we wanted......so here is to MANY MANY years on this truck. We need it to go a long long way into the future
