[QUOTE="zio, post: 139483, member: 19332"] [b]more feedback, please[/b] Lemme jump into this by adding my new dilemma- I may be starting a new business (99% sure), where I'll be towing 2-7000lb loads around town, possibly several in one day. No freeway driving, no long distance towing. Problem: this will also be my daily driver. My brother-in-law has a '93 F250 4x4 Supercab, with the 7.3 diesel. I've been borrowing it for the last few days to get an idea of what it'd be like owning one. Not too thrilled so far. Stiff suspension. And the way the gas pedal is so hard to push down- couple that with the slow accelleration and the psychological effect is that it feels like you yourself are trying to push the behemoth down the street. Doing that day-in, day-out might get really old, really fast. I can tune out the noise, and even get used to the smell, maybe. The vibration is becoming another nuisance, too. But I'm sure you get used to that, right? I know about the better mileage, and more longevity of the motor, but anyone out there feel I can get away with a 1/2 ton, or at least a smaller gas V8 in a Ford or Dodge or Chevy? I can't afford much more than $11,000, which is about the going rate for these older diesels. $11,000 can get me a newer, nicer half ton. And still leave money in my budget for not quite as good of mileage. ALSO- regular unleaded is going for $1.39 here, while diesel is hovering around $1.50. [/QUOTE]
