Me too. I had a crewcab dually in '81. It was cool and did nothing. Chrome wheels and lots of running lights. Well, it did haul some karts and I am a contractor.

Count me in...
1-ton dually. 4 doors, and it's a diesel! All that, and it only seats 4 people.

I love diesel trucks. If I had need for it, I'd have one.

I'm not really a fan of pickups either (used to own one, glad to be rid of it to be honest) but if that's what someone likes and wants to drive? *shrug* whatever. Your money and your gas bill - whatever thrills ya.

I finally got rid of the silly SUV I'd inherited and think I might get a used Jeep Wrangler. All the fun and advantage of a 4x4 when I need it; none of the extra weight and lousy gas mileage of a big truck. I kinda like 'em. Can't haul as much as a pickup or SUV but I can always rent one if I'm in a spot (seldom) or just get delivery (building materials, landscaping stuff like gravel or sand or whatever).

Different strokes. Drive whatever the heck you like - life's too short.

Somewhere I have a photo of a guy with one of those supposed "butthole indicators" with vertical stacks and a big-azz back window sticker reading "prius repellant" with an arrow pointing to each stack. Hilarious!

Hey, I won't lie about the MPG, 8.

That would be uphill, downhill, headwind, tailwind, loaded, empty, city, highway.

454 with a 4 bbl.

Yeah, its diet cost more than mine.

I had the same 454 but with TBI fuel injection, and I got a staggering 10 mpg. Although did not feel as powerful as the older 396 4bbl dually I had before it.
The fuel mileage is not why I sold it though. It did not have overdrive, and although it would go 80 mph, the motor was singing pretty good at that speed, and long distance road trips were a nuisance.

I'm sorry for my use of diesel fuel. I use this truck for work, racing, and usually as my daily driver. I'm amazed that a truck that can haul my forty foot, two car enclosed trailer across the county can also get me to the grocery store.

What is it that make those older truck feel so damn strong with tons of tq and get up and go? I love the way it feel going onto the fwy or simple off the line from a red light. I had a 72 one ton GM. The modern trucks just don't have that feel any more.

I have a ugly big old full size extend cab Cummins diesel truck that I use only a couple times for work. I am a butthole contractor. I drive it to the market or a restaurant when I feel like.

There's a farmer I know well in central KS that has a F-350 4x4 crew cab 6-speed manual with the older 7.3l Powerstroke, he easily gets 20 MPG on the highway with his stock truck. Pretty good considering that most 1/2 ton trucks get about the same. But he's a farmer, so apparently not a butthole.

I've talked to a number of buttholes that claim 25 MPG is easy with a few mods on any modern turbo-diesel trucks.

Norm's okay, even if I disagree with him 99% of the time... Okay back to the topic at hand... Butthole, small penis, gold rope chains... seems like a pattern of car envy

WOW, I guess I'm a "butthole" too! Maybe the biggest. I drive my mog just about everyday, but I don't always have a load in the bed, or the trailer hooked up. I even take it to go to the grocery store, when the wife ask!
