Thanks!

I know gas is way down on price and diesel is still above 93 octane but you would be far better off with a diesel. Like 454captiva my truck, a 2006 Dodge quad cab dually, is also for sale. Our trucks are likely much more expensive than the Chevy but they will tow your boat much better and get far better fuel mileage. I can get 15-18mpg towing 5000-7000lbs.
