Enough to haul some landscaping tools, which is the trade I'm going into. Frank, I do thank you for the insight though.
If you need a v8 put in a 5.7 olds diesel with a 5mt, grade 8 headbolts and a fuel water separator, not only does it sound better, it also should get 20-30mpg highway without trying and about 50%-75% better in town if in proper gears.
