The problem with a Ranger or something like that is, I'm 6'5" so I don't think it will be the most comfortable ride. Also, if possible I'd like to get something I can use around the farm too.

95 powerstroke 17.5 going 6 miles to work and around the farm. It has a DP tunner cold air intake and straight pipe.

My 99 dodge gets 19 highway and 8 pulling my gooseneck trailer.

Well it looks like a superduty or a 150 would fit the bill perfectly especially for a tall guy like you. Jake. No way a small car or Ranger will do.In my truck a superduty you would be real comfortable in that. Lots off leg room.

My brother had a Superduty a few years back with the V10. It was a beast. I really like the SD's and someday I'll have one. I've basically decided though that the only way I'll get anything nice/new would be to trade the Dodge in, so I'm looking for something cheap.

just read that GM's announced the 2010 4.5-liter diesel will be put on hold.

The new Duramax was and is a design which pokes holes in traditional engine design in ways both fascinating and ingenious. The exhaust gas is directed to the valley of the V8 where the turbo lives, and that turbo breaths into the valve covers, completely eliminating the lower intake, dozens of pounds of turbo piping, and weighty exhaust manifolds, turning diesel engine design on it's ear.

Early testing has the engine as smooth as a gas motor and nearly as quiet while the GM full sized pickups it was installed in returning mileage in the mid to high twenty miles per gallon range. The design may be dusted off later, or it may be sold to whoever may want it
