After all y'all's comments about the 4WD, and the fact that I'm not too
desirous
of a white truck, I went with this one:

Hopefully they'll leave that page up for a few days.

I drove it home last night. It drives well. But, it's definitely in a
bigger
league than the 4Runner.

Now if I can just find a nice place for the "Save the Bay" bumper
sticker.

I, for one, would be very interested in frequent updates, opinions,
and squawks. I'm seriously considering a K2500 or K3500 dually for a
replacement for the current truck....

I love this truck. I wish it had a little smaller turning radius, but so
far
that's all I've got to complain about. And, now that I know how much room
it
takes, even that's not a problem.

Towing that trailer, I get 35% better mileage than I got with the 4Runner.
On
the highway, I'm getting between 20 and 21 mpg. That's better than the
4Runner
by about a gallon. Can't complain, given the size of the turbo diesel. It's
comfortable, roomy, and I'm thrilled with it.

What sort of mileage are you seeing without towing?

CB, by putting your reply after the sig line, it's getting cut off when
responding with Agent. I was wondering what you're driving, and what engine
you've got.
