    I agree if I got a diesel I would build it to haul not to show off. Thats what trucks are for.

    My brother-in-law has a 2000 Excursion with the V-10.
    His wife goes thru two tanks of fuel each week
    in the mom taxi beast.

    My 7.3 was getting over 21mpg on paper empty then loaded
    pulling a heavy duty 16ft landscaping trailer thru the mountains
    on Hwy 515 to Blairsville, GA of 321 miles total and then 330 miles
    on a run to and from Oxford/Dialtown GA and the Atlanta airport.
