I love my old Dodges, and really didn't have a good tow vehicle to haul them around with. Never had owned a diesel in a vehicle before, so I spent a couple of months getting ed-u-kated. (Good sites for both Dodge and Ford). I really thought I wanted a Cummins, but it seemed REAL noisy in the Dodge ST. Mama liked the Ford Crew Cab (easier to heave the grandkid in) and insisted on the Lariat, which seemed quieter than the Dodge. Got the six-speed, which sure tows great in the mountans of NM, but not much fun in the big city. I don't believe the doo-hickey that purportedly figures the mileage (it always says 17.6) as I kal-ku-lated it myself as high as 20. Overall, we're happy after 3K miles, except for the price of 3X what our first house cost. Best Wishes.
