I don't want to hijack your thread but I was ready to go with a 2wd but besides being as rare as hen's teeth around here, my wife pointed out even while towing I'm going to want to unhitch and go up exploring old ghost towns and such. I tried to talk her into a side by side we could put in the bed but at $10,000 or more each we would be better with just paying a bit more for a 4x4 truck and the fuel it uses. My longterm plan still is in a few years get an Ecodiesel once thier reliability is proven (or not) and the prices come down. If the 5.9 proves to be consistently over 20 empty and about 15 towing then maybe I'll keep it. If not spending under $15,000 on a 3rd Gen I should get most of it back.
