[QUOTE="Bullet Bob, post: 1789195, member: 32734"] If you're going to be pulling a travel trailer I wouldn't think twice about buying the Super Duty diesel. I've owned several of them and they're a dream to pull with. Like everything, it comes at a cost though. Diesel prices are an obvious disadvantage. Then there's the oil changes are $250 instead of $50. Every 20,000 miles it needs a fuel filter which adds another $150 to that oil change. And then there's the worry of getting water in your fuel. If that happens you're facing a $10,000 repair that insurance doesn't cover. If you don't mind the cost and other issues, you won't be disappointed with the truck. It's a very substantial vehicle that has an overall feel and stance all its own. If you need to sell the idea to the little woman, be sure to remind her that it's one of the safest vehicles that she can plant her fanny in, and more importantly your children. Nearly 4 tons of steel and military grade aluminum alloy put it at near the top of the food chain in a vehicle accident. I used to investigate accidents for a living and came to the conclusion that the old saying "size matters" definitely rings true on the highway. Good luck my friend. Let us know which way you go. You won't be disappointed either way. [/QUOTE]
