John,
Yeah I was looking at those beasts.... 3.2 ton empty v 1.8 for the Rodeo
175kw diesel v 270kw for the L98 (i'm not talking torque... i'm gunna lose that one lol)
3150kg towing v 3000kg towing for the Rodeo.....
I couldn't find one under $45,000... that was not 10 years old already.
By the time I finish up and sell off everything it should owe me about $18,000 - $20,000
I can't seem to find anywhere that can quote me a fuel economy figure for the 7.3 turbo diesel.... lol
Not sure what the Rodeo will get in terms of fuel economy.... but towing will prob be better than empty for the big diesel...
Anyways I would love one of those big suckers... just couldn't afford it.
And besides I think for me the fun is in the building.
See you next Friday with my meat on a plate!
