Hope this is a simple answer. I will be towing a 28 foot TT that will weigh in at 6500# once fully loaded. I have in my grasp two Ex's. both a 2001,
2001 Ex v10 gasser 135k for $5500
2001 ex 7.3 L PSD 155k for $12500
My instict tells me to go v10 gasser as i have really read nothing bad about them and they are rock solid and wonderfull at towing.
We will try two to three trips per year roughly 3000 miles per trip?
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE the PSD as I have never owned a diesel but $7000 will by alot of gas and many many items to keep the wifey happy.
i am not concerned about the miles, I have two suburbans that have 320k on them and they run great.
thanks for any advice

Dave,
In these economic times, vote your wallet. I have a Diesel Ex... and it can tow a house, but the gas engines will easily tow what you need to tow brother...
And keepin the Mrs happy is the key to vehicle happiness
