What Truck...

[Ice Cap]

Get on Craigslist and look at diesel trucks in the oil patch states. With the recent decline in oil prices, there are lots of guys out of work that are almost giving their trucks away!

What are you towing that you need a diesel for.  Lots of gas trucks out there that will tow pretty good loads.  If you are towing more then 10k I'd say go diesel otherwise save your money and the heartaches and get a good gas motor.

one could buy a big block gas truck and a whole lot of fuel for what a used diesel truck goes for, especially if you aren't towing something heavy every day...
