I realize just what you said, very hard to find a reasonable priced diesel truck. I wish the body wouldn't have "fallen off" the frame on my old 1987 Chevy 4x4 with the 6.2. It was short on power in the hills, but made 21 empty and about 11 with a load behind it.
The best the 95 ever did was 22mpg pulling a small trailer to Boston and back, after it had the new tranny.
I don't expect any work truck to make good MPG, but my 92 Dodge is at 8 highway and about 3 or 4 with the mini dovetail hay trailer.
I have a 2001 Chevy 2500 gas 4x4 that is basically helpless pulling trailers in soft conditions or heavy loads. It is too shallow geared, it will make 18mpg or so empty at 70 MPH, but is terrible when you have to run in the low side of the transfer case picking up hay. It won't go into overdrive until 63.5 MPH, at 55 it sucks fuel.
The 92 Dodge is sold, the Chevy might be sold if the 99 Ford is decent. DOUG
