All you fellows with your long distance trucks and large fuel tanks. Like deserteagle71 - my bladder needs attention long before I need to refuel. Just me & Brownie - lookin' for a bush. Besides - when I'm out and about - a whole lot of the gas stations are just a pump and credit card slot. The "restroom" is the next bush.
Sawyer Rob - and the sales person ( a VERY cute blonde, in my case ) doesn't even flinch when they give you the price. But, I figured, what the H*LL - I can't take it with me. Either spend it now or give it to my son when I depart. And the 2500 Power Wagon( Taco Wagon ) is SURE a whole lot of fun vehicle.
My last hay run with a 10k load.....f350 gas....View attachment 650932
OUCH!
How does your wife let you have such a wasteful toy? :laughing:
Just kiddin
I have ford, Chevy, and Dodge right now, including diesels... Yes, they are still Dodges no matter what they call them today!Yep, I got 2 of those gas powered terds to polish. :laughing: They get lousy fuel mileage. Diesels much better.
I have ford, Chevy, and Dodge right now, including diesels... Yes, they are still Dodges no matter what they call them today!
BUT, Diesel right now here is $2.199 and gas is $1.049, and my diesel pu's can't get near the millage my new gas pu does,
And it does better than that on trips. There was a day when I didn't buy anything but diesel pu's, but those days are long gone!
I have to haul one he!! of a load with a trailer, to make it worth it to put a diesel in front of it today.
BTW, we haul hay with a gas powered pu's and get better mileage than in the 8's...
We deliver a lot of hay that way, cuz there's lots of hayburners around here...

Those are 4x5's at 850 to 900 ea...Nice, but Im rolling 22-26 4x5 @850 each.
It would squash the rear of a gas truck like that. Not enough rear axle or suspension capacity.
38,000lbs is typical scale weight. That’s exclusively diesel territory.
Every tool has its place. I like a gas truck for lighter work, no matter the fuel economy
