A Dodge diesel will get you between 20 and 25 mpg, pretty much no matter what you have in the back.

Matt the "buy cheap and fix it when it breaks", but that doesn't work for us anymore. We can't have a vehicle out of service for 2-3 days because we give up 4-6 installs during that time. We get a $500 Lowe's card when we buy, so we use that to get toolboxes for the truck, and then we buy a $200 ladder rack off ebay. We also install our standard GPS tracking system, and have the truck decals put on. Takes us about a week from start to finish to get a new truck ready to go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
