    RV LIFE Multisite Forum, Wander The West I'm finally seeing the light on diesel engines and the US auto makers

    Their tractors are supposed to be great! Trucks are in use everywhere else in the world. Too bad they can't get their act together in this market but, I don't see any viable alternatives other than full sized. The automakers won't let us have those eu diesel engines because we don't want them...

    I'd go with as new and as low of mileage of 3/4 ton Dodge diesel that you can find. You will have some room to grow into it :D I have an old one and love it. Almost zero $$ in upkeep, very low maintainance if you can do it yourself. Runs great all day long, good mileage. My truck has paid for...

    I shouldn't have made a blanket statement like that. I appologize to anyone who may have had their feathers ruffled. I shouldn't have bitten on the previous post about Fords....I just had a "gut" reaction. All brands have their good points and bad. The point I was trying to make (then I'll...

    I have never seen "the perfect truck," but today I saw a 2010 Dodge 2500 Powerwagon. That's about as close to the perfect truck available from a dealer that I have seen. I guess I should mention my budget is max 15K for a truck. I've read a lot of good things about the power wagon in that...

    I don't find storing the FWC that big a deal. The process of taking the jacks on or off, and removing or mounting the camper takes me about an hour (don't leave your jacks on when the camper is on the truck!). The decision to get a Tacoma or 3/4 ton truck is a big one. The taco is going to be...

    Hey guys, I've been lurking/studying these types of forums for a while. I'm looking to get a truck for hauling maybe some light towing and a camper or anything to keep me off the ground. I used to have a 4runner ('95) and it suited my off-road needs pretty well (mostly desert use some...
