Buy a diesel. No matter what kind. I have a duramax with over 100,000 miles & no problem. The allison transmission is stronger/less trouble than the 5 speed though. My dad has a chevy with the 6.0. It has plenty of power & runs great but mileage stinks. His 88 model with a 350 got a lot better mileage. I get good mileage in my duramax 3/4, 4x4. Im sure the fords and cummins are good engines too. A lot of guys put power chips in thier diesels and wont take their foot out of em & cant understand why they dont get 21 mpg. If I keep mine at or below 2000 rpm and dont drive like Im at the Indy 500 I get a full 2mpg better than driving at 75mph. Sounds like you plan to keep it awhile and a few miles per gallon adds up over time. Not to mention biodiesel is on the horizon. Ive been burning it for over a year.
