No kidding and I'm rural by Canadian Border here.
Anyways you should probably make sure that you're quoting a 55 gallon drum and not the 30-40(I can't remember what exactly oil drum standard size is anymore) so you know what cost analysis you're really giving yourself
That being said garagability is a serious factor for many people buying midsize trucks. They have no need for a full size but they want a pickup box and a truck platform. Rarely tow. Just a grocery getter. Maybe pull an ATV or boat but no serious weight
How do you like your Victory? The ecodiesel is easy to become a new favorite if you're not a die hard for your 2 wheels.
Just curious as I Work for Polaris but I've never gotten the opportunity to get on one
Hope you get some good information and share some knowledge!
Happy to have you here!
100mile commute is one thing I don't think I could handle. I live a mile from my primary job. But my secondary job is a 750mile one day round trip in the truck, the comfort of a high end model is worth it...
I've never had a tri fold tonneau cover myself but I had put a bak roll-x solid/hard aluminum rolling cover on my truck when I first got it and I loved it. It was low profile, could handle a few hundred pounds on it so snow would never have been an issue, and it locked down the entire rail so it...
Yeah I was thinking the pro master ecodiesel that is the inline.
The sprinter v6 vs the ecodiesel v6 is just a different manufacturer. Vmi/fiat 3.0 ecodiesel vs. sprinter/Mercedes 3.0 diesel (I'm honestly unsure who actually manufactures it)
Around 15,000 miles
You do need to regularly drain the fuel filter and it does increase lifespan but mopar guidelines are 30k, most anyone I know sticks to around 15k
Sorry about that here you go

Reference this thread, there's some comments about the heat issue and engine design that play a factor in the high temps we see.
And please do chime in with any ideas that you may have to correct these issues.

Ridiculous huh?
You know what I don't understand about the rebel? For completely purposeful use of the "offroad" designed truck why did they not at least have the option of a inner bumper mounted winch like the power wagon?
Well I stand corrected. Here at my "local(ish)" dealer, they have a rebel on the lot with none other than the v6

You have to do a little digging in the 3.0L section and or Dodge section but everything is there.
They also have a replacement oil filter housing only about 30$. Good deal.
One for my old Mercedes was 5 times that!
