Hello,
Gotta question...
I'm looking at getting a truck to pull my BP trailer. Trailer weighs 3500, horse will top off at 1000 so I am figuring max 5k pounds loaded. I was going to get a diesel but I won't be doing any long hauling.
So, what type of truck should I be looking at? The guy at the GMC/Chevy dealership indicated that a 1500 (1/2 ton) would pull the trailer I have and the F350 would be too much truck. Any thoughts???
Also, why is diesel more expensive than gas right now and is there a way to determine whether over the long range a diesel or gas truck would be more economical (fuel and maintenance costs).
