Seems like some people spend way too much time worrying and not enough time living.
Life is too short to worry about the little things.
Buy a new truck or buy a used truck, just remember to enjoy whatever it is that you buy.

getting a diesel when you don't need it is one thing, I am guilty of that.
but a dually...? sort of like a tug boat to pull a skier

Yep, but I rolled my last diesel twice on Hwy 73 several months back and figured I needed training wheels. Plus the Wheels look sick!

Rgregg.....I would seriously doubt you would see much of a change if any with that boat. When I yank around small weight and trailers with small drag it doesnt even seem like anything is back there
