Mayfair - don't forget to calc in the longer time between rebuilds along with the improved mileage. I had two gasser 4WD third gen's, and their mileage EMPTY was barely 12mpg - so the additional 2mpg at worse, along with longer duty cycle, pencils out to be worth the additonal 5K purchase price for me...
That is my arguement, but these guy's are just talking about a trip from point A to B.

Future daily driver. I only drive it on the weekends but bought it in anticipation of hauling a horse trailer.

Funny you should mention that. I was SHOCKED to hear when I was over there that Hawaii's main export or whatever you want to call it was CATTLE !!!!
That just floored me !!

OK: I don't have one yet...

But when I do, it will haul my 28-ft travel trailer (along with my wife and two beautiful girls)
It will plow my driveway, and someday a long gravel access road into a camp somewhere in northern Maine
It will get me my firewood
It will tow my chevelle to someone who will buy it so I can pay for the CTD
And of course it will be the ONLY CTD in the hospital parking lot!

I use mine as a daily driver, but also tow my 28' travel trailer and do contract delivery of travel trailers and fifth wheels of various sizes. I have been across the Appalachians and Rockies and have not needed more power.
