Not quite. 26 gallons of fuel in a car doing 19MPG on the highway means around 494 miles. Not the perfect highway vehicle either, because you still have to pay out the ass for gas, and, fuck, it's 19MPG!
[QUOTE=lead_farmer;18794160]1.) Rated you 'Informative'.
2.) I did. :downs:
3.) Yeah, but I would buy 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 instead but that's just me.
Wonder what the new diesel engines are gonna be like in the Super Dutys now that Ford is going to be building them in house.[/QUOTE]
I really, REALLY like the new Dodges, too. But my family hates Dodge Pickups, so I don't want to annoy all of them =p
and new Diesels have the turbo inside the manifold, supposed to increase possible boost pressure and reduce turbo lag. If I buy a new pickup, it will be a 2011.

31 gallons, it's an ESV. 19*31 = 589 which is about 600 miles. If you can afford to buy one you can afford the gas. I didn't have to pay for fuel though.

base model full of boring. I Can't live without a fully loaded model (2002 was fully loaded, so is the new one).
But you CAN have a little fun with it.

Haha Why? I loved Mine, why i got a newer one. If i HAD to i could suffer a base model before I drove alot of other car models.
[QUOTE=Apocalypsox;18794066]hah, mechanical fans. I use electric fans on everything any more.
I've discovered that the diesel pickup I want is 55,000$, and a SVT Raptor is only 42,000$. Hmmm...

I'd pull a trailer with a VW Touareg 2. That's 15k less aswell.
Infact, I can pull a 747 with a Touareg 2, and a minivan, full of people, going the other way.

I own a V6 Diesel Touareg 2 by the way.

You also do if you buy Adidas, Fanta, Hugo Boss clothes, Bayer medicine, anything made by Siemens, etc., etc.
Adidas gave Jesse Owens the shoes he wore at the olympics when he won. Adidas also traded with Jewish people.
Adidas' founder's brother was more into Nazis. He founded Puma.
I drove the new Mazda 3 2,2 Diesel for 2 hours (2 hours of in-the-car-time") today, and normally I'm not for diesel cars, but holy shit! It has so much torque! It's really quick. Nice gears too.
I also drove this super-duper-eco Kia. It was pretty damned quick too (diesel), but weird thing was; when you hold at a red light and set it to neutral, the engine shuts down, and then starts up again when i press the clutch :confused: what weird ways
of saving gas, lol.

towing capacity is not half as much as I need, the trailer weighs nearing 18,000 pounds loaded.

Adidas' plants were turned into weapon plants in WW2. Although I heard a story where the founder saved hundreds of Jews' lives when some Nazis told him that his workers were due for gassing and the founder said "If you kill these people, you will not have anyone making your weapons." And they backed off.
I don't know if it's true, but if it is, it's pretty damn badass.
Drove around in a 2,6 V6 turbo Ford today :q: had to drive to a service check and back. That was indeed a fun ride.

The Touareg 2 can tow a 747 broski.

Get a Block heater, and a remote for it.
Diesels doesn't sound cool, but they have a huge amount of torque.
No, that's not it. The engine block heater warms the oil, but it's the fuel itself that's the problem. At subzero temperatures it can get pretty dense to the point that it turns almost syrup-y in the cold weather.
