My new ride

[Pike]

So it turns out Diesel is better for towing... (insert sarcasm here) I have wanted a diesel truck for who knows how long!! 2008 GMC 2500 4x4 I LOVE IT

Cool.. That thing will tow! We have an 08 just like yours but LWB at work. I drove a 14' enclosed trailer to New Mexico back in October in it and it never missed a beat.

The only bad thing about a diesel is, you feel that you must get a 15,000 lb trailer to pull. I have have 2 F-250s and could not even tell that I had anything behind when towing my boat.

Well in our house it is a little different, we have the Gas 5.3L in the Silverado and the wife has the Turbo Direct Injected 1.9L Diesel in her Jetta. She went from an Avalanche Z-71 with 411 rear axle ratio and 13mpg to a Diesel at 41mpg! And she is NOT a slow driver! But it would be nice if GM would put a diesel in the 1500s. We had a 1500HD Crew Cab before the Avalanche and it was soooooo hard to park it!

Pike,

I love that gray and black color scheme! That was my first pick but the rest of the family voted me down. Everyone was stuck on blue.

Ya thats the one thing I am bummed about...I buy my first diesel when diesel fuel goes over $4 a gallon I paid 4.24 the other day It sucks but at least I'm not getting 8 mpg like I got when towing my Moomba with my 5.4 gas F250!!
