Trying to decide which to get - between Toyota, Ford, GMC. Toyota doesn't make a

also costs more.

Any ideas out there?

If you put lots of miles on the diesel engine you will save money in
maintenance and longevity. The diesel will still be running long after
you have gone to the fishing hole in the sky.

OK, I'll agree with that. But, I'd probably trade it before my 85th birthday
anyway! Hell, I'm not buying the damn thing for my kids.

Thanks for the advice though. For a woman, you're pretty truck knowledgeable.
