Also jealousy is fear of losing something you have, envy is wanting what others have.

Thank your off there, maybe double check what you think you know before making a wise crack at somebody.
I have a 2017 f250 diesel, I do have a gooseneck trailer and haul a tractor, a ranger and or a Jeep a few times a month and also haul stuff out to junk yard. I had a F150 a few years back and it could tow everything but it was enough weight it was working the truck so I moved up to the diesel.
I don’t care what people buy, I just can’t ever figure out why they buy them to lift them and throw 40s underneath them. And take every practical use for a truck and throw it out the window. But each there own.

I drive a diesel. I need it to tow my ego around. Please read "Total Money Takeover", then you can tell me what to drive when you're paying for it!

For that matter why buy a new bow when older bows will work? Why hunt with an expensive compound bow when a cheap bolt action rifle will work? Why hunt when there's grocery stores selling food cheaper than hunting equipment?
I get what you mean, and being in Houston where I know for a fact most of these trucks are just for show, but who cares. If they earned their money and have the ability to purchase one, who gives a rip.

I don't care what someone wants to drive. If all you do is drive to work in the city in a lifted tuned diesel, great, it's your money, do what you want with it. What irks me are the guys that show up on every towing thread with the mindset that if you don't have a diesel that can pull your 30k trailer 100 mph then you are somehow inferior to them. Simple, if you need to tow heavy regularly or just plain want one, get a diesel. Beyond that no one is jealous or cares how cool you think you are.Last edited by jdg13; 04-13-2018, 02:54 PM.

Holy crap you are really going to lose your mind when a big portion of 1/2 tons are diesels.
I got the 1/2 ton Diesel for fuel mileage, and it pulls everything I need. 20ft flatbed and my 34ft travel trailer the few times a year I pull them. Other than that, I use the hell out of my truck for the bed.

Or they insinuate you can't tow more than a little red wagon.

The right deal presented itself to get our Ram 2500 and I didn’t hesitate to jump on it. Maintenance costs are tremendously more and is offset by the 27mpg doing 80mph unloaded.
Most people don’t need a diesel and due more harm than good in the way they drive them. I guess in that regard it’s a win for the manufacturers and mechanics.
Again, for us, it’s all about retirement and having stuff paid off before. That is why I jumped on a B&W sliding hitch locally online last night. I don’t have a use for it right this minute but I will soon and for $450, I couldn’t pass up saving $1k!

Holy cow! You STOLE that hitch!
I’m jealous. I need a slider and currently have a Curt slider setup on my B&W turnover but it’s very noisy.

This is the exact hitch we wanted in part because of what you said, it’s super quiet and flexes to eliminate it transferring to the truck. And the deal we got, smokin hot! We couldn’t get over there fast enough. It had been listed for three days and we were the first to contact them. We are truly Blessed!
