I came from Toyota.... Tunda's and Tacoma's. But the rest of the market is improving gas millage but Toyota really isnt. So I started looking at 1500's. I wanted something that would tow a trailer/camper and could hold its own in the dirt. I was looking at the 1500 and without the Trail Boss or AT4 they just didnt do it for me, which I was looking at a $60k price tag. I happen to look at 2500 prices and they were WAY cheaper than $60k. Gas millage was about the same as a Tundra, but with more towing. The 2500 also look beefy and intimidating stock. I wanted gas because I had a diesel before and it was a total pain in the ass. Not only is it .30 more per gallon, but you have to deal with DEF. Plus we get gas at CostCo so they dont carry diesel here. I wasnt planning on hauling anything too crazy so it really wasnt worth the hassle.
