[QUOTE="ppine, post: 460988, member: 22555"] I drive a one ton Ford 7.3 diesel. I do not get the idea of investing a lot of money in a tow vehicle that can only handle 5,000 pounds. It will probably be fine for towing a boat in Florida. What if you want to go somewhere else or tow an RV, or a bigger boat? Many people seem to think that buying a tow vehicle that is "just enough" is the right thing to do. I bought my diesel new in 2002. With a few mods Nelliebelle gets a max of 23.8 mpg empty. I tow a 19 foot aluminum boat at around 18 mpg, and an RV at around 14 mpg all over the West. I have used her as an every day driver, and she is the best vehicle I have ever had out of about 30.
