I think I am going to buy a truck soon.
Can't decide if I just trade the Kia in just so I don't have to fuck with selling it, or sell it on my own to get a few more buckaroo's out of it.
Leaning towards trading it in. I just want the fucker to be gone. lol

What kind of truck? Full size I assume?
I really don't need a diesel truck, but I do need 4WD or AWD where I live now. If I eventually get a snowmobile a full size truck would allow me to throw it in the back and save from having to get a trailer. I could throw it in a 1500 but even the Ford Ecoturd really only gets about 16 mpg. Guy I work with has one, they really aren't all they are cracked up to be.
On the other hand, a Cummins from the factory will get around low 20's MPG. Intake, tune, and exhaust to make it flow better and you're in the mid to almost upper 20's depending on your foot. I like Ford trucks, but the Flowerpoke motor is garbage. I know people with them, I've driven them and thank god I never had to work on them. I also like the Duramax but I've just always liked the sound of the 5.9 Cummins. Nothing like a 6-pot diesel noise. Plus they fricken run forever...Not uncommon to see them with 300k+ miles on the stock block. I've also read about million mile stock motors. The chassis will go to shit long before the motor does.
tl;dr - yes, full size diesel, for fuel mileage reasons as I like to drive.
