Depends on the tow load. My truck tows my car on a trailer with ease, zero issues with taking it on a long trip. > [@risk + simcity with a pinch of civilization for good measure](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/risk-simcity-with-a-pinch-of-civilization-for-good-measure/46848/202): > > It all depends on what your intended use for the truck is if you want to put a plow on it then 3/4 or bigger or your stupid. Also if you plan on lifting it or turning it up your money well ahead with a diesel. I’ll take you for a ride some time in the dirtymax with the programmer turned up, might change you mind a little. I hear you. Again, most diesel owners own them as a penis extension, and don’t do anything with them that a 1/2 ton gas could do. But, with the 1/2 ton gas, the general public does not get to see the nicer interior (for the money) and lower operating costs (payment, maintenance, etc). The BRO driving just wants the public to see him in his big truck. > [@risk + simcity with a pinch of civilization for good measure](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/risk-simcity-with-a-pinch-of-civilization-for-good-measure/46848/204): > > when i read his (turbotrav) post, i thaught of all the suny cobleskill kids with diesels for commuting to and from school…seriously if anyone ever goes to coby, you wont make it from one end of town to the other end without seeing one. and i know alot of people to dd their diesel and dont own anything bigger than a 2-place snowmobile trailer. why??? b/c they dont care and its all about the “status”. i think thats the type of people he was refering to by his post Exactly > [@El Caporal-Owner of Mexican restaurant in Cheektowaga arrested as illegal alien](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/el-caporal-owner-of-mexican-restaurant-in-cheektowaga-arrested-as-illegal-alien/46983/8): > > It comes down to thats what they want and thats how they spend their money to enjoy the automotive hobby. IE you have a fast sled and Trav has a fast EVO. Both are far less practical then a diesel pickup for your DD to get groceries, but thats what you guys are into. It just comes down to consumer preference. Most of the time that I’m driving, I’m behind the wheel of a somewhat rusted 95 Corolla with a shoestring doorhandle:tongue --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-shift-truck-thread-woodchuck-big-bodiez-itt/261527)._
