I am looking to get a new truck but my question for all of you SC's is should I get a diesel (F-250) or a F-150, and why (if you answer). Those are the only two trucks I am considering, so no chevy die hards pls.
Seeing you have a 4x4 I bet you have larger than stock tires. I did this and power and fuel economy were greatly reduced. Might want to try putting tires closer to the original diameter on the truck you have first.
