German cars today are plastic junk. There is a reason everyone I know who actually works on the line in Tuscaloosa refuses own one. And after having them and being around them, Ill never touch another. Beamer or MBBest Deisel of all times? MB OM617 3L inline 5 turbo diesel, those engines will run for every, my first car was 1979 300D with that engine. I had it 22 years, when I sold it, it had 450K miles, and it never left me stranded. I would get 31 on the highway doing 75 in all day long.
Best modern day Diesel BMW N57S, 3L inline 6 Tri-turbo 378hp, and 540lbs and gets 34 MPG. On a trip to Europe I rented an X5 50D with this engine, it was amazing, low-end grunt, Mid-range was incredible, and the top end was amazing. Was able to cruise on the autobahn at 145mph and the engine wasn't even breaking a sweat. I saw a 160 on the speedo and the X5 was still pulling. Had for 2 weeks and averaged 34 mph (imperial gallons)
I think you are missing the point, you asked a question and I answered them, the debate isn't about the car but the engine. BTW, I would never own a US-made MB, the quality isn't there like ones built in the fatherland.German cars today are plastic junk.

No sir....i just don't think there is a debate....6.0 7.3 and 5.9 all were million mile engines subjected to tons of stress.I think you are missing the point, you asked a question and I answered them, the debate isn't about the car but the engine.

No, I am not putting a 7 way plug on it. I found these from an article, these are less than 2000 lb. I will probably rent @ Outdoorsy first and see. There are also rooftop tents options, I have not yet looked into it.Are you putting a 7 way plug on it and do they really have any campers sub 2k pounds?
I'll bat most of those have electric breaks and at 1200 plus on a truck rated for two you will want themNo, I am not putting a 7 way plug on it.

I will probably figure out when I get the truck... I am kind of person that will handle when the problem comes. Hybrid is my pick over Ecoboost with more towing capacity, since 98% of time, I will be driving to/from work or transporting kids. Really wanted to have a truck for more functionality, but won't be real for the MPG here driving any gas fueled truck in the cities. Hybrid compact truck with 5 seaters for family seem perfect for me.I'll bat most of those have electric breaks and at 1200 plus on a truck rated for two you will want them
Is that a Triumph I spy?First Edition because the price point + money saved + old car sale value means I can afford to. Getting this one means I get all the upgrades I wanted anyway. Hybrid because I take long trips and don't want to eat it at the gas station and it's still enough power to tow my bike. Area 51 because that's the only color option I'm allowed to pick but I like it fine so nbd.
Ducati Scrambler Urban Enduro. They've got a very cafe racer style and look similar to the Bonneville T100.Is that a Triumph I spy?
As someone who's owned a push-to-start vehicle for the last four(ish?) years, they're not always everything they're cracked up to be. Yes, it's convenient, but it's the worst thing when the battery runs out or the remote itself starts acting strange.I am getting the Lariat with luxury package, AWD, 4k towing, and in carbonized gray. I am getting the lariat over the XLT for two reasons, the push to start(aka I don't have to get my key out my pockets to open the doors or start the car) and the adaptive cruise control.
