Don't hold back any comments, good or bad.

Are you talking the new 1500 diesel?

It's only an $1800 option for the diesel, so I'm considering both. I understand that the diesel doesn't quite tow AS MUCH as the 5.7 liter, but it only differs by about 700 lbs.... That's not enough to justify one or the other.

Really? wow, then why bother with a diesel? I mean that's why I went from a Tundra 5.7 to a Ford diesel 6.7 f350 was for the towing went from 12K to almost 30K towing. Im really surprised/disapointed at the towing capacity of the 1500 deisel
