Truck advice [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell]

If you're thinking about the Sprinter, check out this very sweet set up on
E-bay.  Item # 150081844245  (copy then paste the item number into the
"search" on Ebay).  It's priced very well in my opinion.

I looked at the Sprinter a few years back and at that time what kept me from
looking any further was what I thought was their very low towing rating.  We
regularly pull trailers well over 10,000 lbs.  I can't remember exactly but
the Sprinter seemed rated very low for towing.

Biodiesel comment: Around here, most used veggie around here gets turned
into pet food by factories in the region.

Howdy,

We just purchased a second Dodge Sprinter.  These are Mercedes rigs,
labeled as Dodge here in the States.  Great mileage (23-26 mpg,
depending), big inside, a v6  turbo diesel.  We run on B20 typically.
Stand up inside, shelves on one wall, bench seat in back.  Gets tools,
up to 5 guys and 8+kw of PV inside.  

Downside?  They aint cheep.  Used ones are becoming available more and
more though...
