Ok guys, I get it. Some of you have a great big oversized 3/4 or 1 ton truck that is extremely rough riding and if its a diesel, expensive to maintain, I dont, I have a 1500, and according to the published information, I can tow 8250lbs.......so what the eff is the issue here....Im not pulling a 32' stacker......I have posted the weights of the trailer and the capabilities of the truck, but maybe I am not reading it right so I have taken the liberty of posting the website where I gathered my information... now please do not pay attention to the published 10,400lb towing capacity as my truck is not properly equipped and I would not want to confuse anyone...

I've owned both gas and diesel trucks and found the diesel to be cheaper to maintain and operate.
