Trying to decide which to get - between Toyota, Ford, GMC. Toyota doesn't make a
diesel, but the question becomes, 'Why diesel'? The price of the truck is about
$8K more than the gasser. The diesels get better mileage, supposedly, but diesel
also costs more.

Any ideas out there?

Be a little careful about new diesels. The new ones have a urea system
in them that could leave you stuck on the side of the road. At this
point, the dealer is the only one that can refill the tank. It is
supposed to last quite a while but when it is empty you are done.

I've heard of the urea system, although I know nothing about it. Two fellow
campers have bought new rigs this past year. Both bought 2009 models just so
they wouldn't have to contend with the urea system.

Anyway, your response caused me to find out a little more about the urea system.
For those totally ignorant, as I was, here is an intro site:

Thanks for the response.
