first post 1/2 ton diesel

Wow i feel priveledged,

The first post in this section

Seriously though, I would love to have a 1/2 ton diesel as my needs don't require this big 1 ton truck that i have. Don't get me wrong, you couldn't pry this truck from my cold lifeless hands, but it is overkill for the 16 ft ATV trailer that i pull. Id love to average 25 mpg versus the 17.5 that i average now. It had beter have a suspension system design that lends itself to major modification as i absolutly love my Kore syspension and would not give that up for anything as well.

Lets see what the future brings........
