I've owned 3 Gas pot Trucks in my time. All mid to big blocks. Standards and Auto's. No matter what i did with those being towing or with Camper on it, it always felt like i was beating the crap out of my engine. Especially on big hills. $10.000+ for a diesel over and above the price of a gas pot buys a lot of Gas but that hard working engine sound always made me uncomfortable. That all went away 18 years ago with my first 6.7L PowerStroke. Slow getting up to speed but when it got there it just purred. Sometimes i needed to look back just to see if my Trailer was still there...lol. Some of you will know exactly what i'm talking about. I will never go back to a gas pot truck, even if i get too old to tow a trailer.
