Oh, and by the way, diesel is $2.73 in central VA. Regular is under $2.
diesel on average is $3.40 in S. Fl. It's amazing how much they tax our fuel. This ships come into our port with the fuel and we get rapped.

I have to agree with Lloyd, I own 2 diesels and if I had a light weight 5th wheel or a travel trailer I know I would go with the Eco boost.

That was my plan but when I started to price ecoboost 150's they were the same price as a used SD KingRanch. I never looked back and bought the SD.

If a person has no real need to own a diesel, then I can't see any reason to have one. With the added cost for fuel and maintenance it adds up in a hurry.

I'm real satisfied with the eco boost so far. It has done everything my diesel did for me.
I'm also happy to have gotten over the love affair associated with owning a diesel.

How many miles do you have on your turbo? We willbe looking within the year & the turbos should have all the bugs worked out by then.
We drove our turbo coupe & our super coupe(supercharged) both over 180000 & never had a problem. However we weren't towing with them but they were run but maintained . That is the secret to all engines now.
Thanks for reply.
