    I would like to see the proof on the 5-10 mpgs while towing ! Yeah a diesel can run to a million miles but at 300k the rest of the truck will be need rebuilt anyhow, besides that I never keep a pickup longer than 4 years so I don't really care if it will run to 2 million miles.

    I've seen many gassers run to 300k without any problems, my father in law's 99 Chevy has 302k on it and never been touched, not even a water pump ! My old boss man sold a 95 Chevy that had 350k on it, never been touched either, to a guy who still drives it, and that was 5 years ago !
