I have a '95 crew cab diesel dually Ford. It makes nowhere near the power of the newer Power Stroke motors--they've made tremendous advances in the last few years--but it has still pulled a 22' enclosed trailer loaded with a car at 75 mph, up hill and down, no sweat. MPG around town is in the 16 - 17 range, fully loaded with a trailer, in a bad head wind, etc., it is between 11 - 13. The motor is dead-stock, no chip, etc., and the truck has 80,000 miles on it.

The dual rear wheels are a pain for some people, especially if you drive in town a lot. For me they are wonderfully reassuring when pulling a small fortune behind me on a trailer--
