Thanks again. I am pretty sure I am going to go diesel within the next year. It's only May and I have already towed over 5000 miles this year and will go to Alaska in a couple of weeks which will be at least 8000 miles so it looks as though I am going to be towing somewhere around 10-15000 miles a year. I,ll use the diesel mostly for towing and should be able to get a long life out of it. I drove a new 2012 Ford diesel and liked it a lot.
I appreciate all the first hand info you guys provided.

Fred
