Not going to say much more to cloud the issue,BUT need to read the December 2007 Popular Mechanics before you buy a new one. I want the new GMC diesel, but can't afford ANY new pickup. The specs will blow you away. GMC mpg empty 18.26, load 10.50. Ford empty 11.24, load 7.60. Dodge empty 13.00, load 8.70. Just read the article. I do have a friend who has the Duramax diesel with the Allison automatic who was making 6.5 to 10 mpg with his gasoline dually who is now making 18 towing and 23 empty now. I am giving a lot of thought to putting my old 87 Chevy 4x4 6.2 diesel back in use. Makes about twice the MPG my 2001 2500 6.0 4x4 does. Just need to convert the old 87 to a flat bed and gooseneck hitch, the body is literally ready to fall off.

Just looked at the "test" and it looks like the typical whipped cream on scat that the magazine is noted for. Many of the comments nailed it, sure the Chevy/GMC is a nice truck and has snappy performance but don`t buy one if you want a work truck that will last. If you want one, more power to ya, at least maybe buying a truck from one of the old "Big Three" will help keep an American employed in some capacity.
