If you haul heavy loads a diesel is better. If you use it as a daily driver I would go with gas.:D

I say diesel engine because whether the truck is fully loaded or not loaded at all you get the same milage. Gas engines uses more fuel when fully loaded and less when not loaded at all. And Diesel consumption is not affected by the environment or how many gadgets your truck has. Also Diesel gives you more power 6.0 turbo diesel with 600hp and 500 foot torque pounds or the gas engines 5.4L 302hp 345 f-t-p V-8 or 6.?L 355hp 425 ft-t-p V-10. The diesel engine will set you back between $6-8,000 depending were you live. Diesel also cost about the same as the mid grade gas. Consider the f-150 or even the f-250 light duty, they look like the f-150's but can hawl and tow more and are not quite as much as an f-250 super duty.

Shoot, I wish I was. It sucks when I cant even sit n the back seat of a car. No matter what car I am in, I drive. And that really sucks on long trips. I have tried Dammamine (sp) and it just knocks me out!

You know, when I'm on the road and I'm not driving, I can't for the life of me take a nap, I just can't. Might as will just drive

I can sleep on a plane...unless there is a lot of turbulence. I think my sickness is based on turns and swerves. Sometimes when I use to ride my quad at the dunes I would get a bit nautious and would have to stop for a cold one.... maybe I just wanted a cold one...hmmmm!!!
