LOL.. That got posted just before my last one..
Why won't she consider diesel? Cost?
The smell, of all things!
She will occasionally drive my/our truck to haul our kids when the roads are too bad for her mini-van. Doesn't like the slightly rougher ride of a Super-Duty or the smell and noise of a diesel.
My truck is a 2007 Tundra, tow rating of 10,100 pounds. The 5'er she has her heart set on weighs about 6,400lbs dry, so fully loaded we should still be well within that. The truck has a lot of oomph for a gas engine and those I've talked to who tow comparable loads with comparable trucks are happy with it's power and handling.
Maybe when she decides in a few years that she wants a bigger camper, I can talk her into a 250/350 diesel.
Oh yeah, it has a tow package and tranny gauge and cooler.
