[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 3038670, member: 15643"] Because you stated daily driver, as well as the occasional haul, you made it tricky lol :) Gas vs diesel. MPG, difference in fuel costs, service cost difference. If it weren't for the daily driver part I'd suggest a F250 v10, but the mpg will kill you. The 5.4l in the F250 are dogs hauling, and not that much better mpg than the v10. The newer 6.2l that replaced the 5.4l is what I'd suggest. I had one for a couple of years. No issues, about 14-15mpg. It has some pretty good power numbers but it doesn't even come close to pulling like a diesel, even an older diesel. For a two horse trailer it should be fine though. Like doctorjj asked, what's your budget and how old? [/QUOTE]
