Re: Help- which truck indecision!

I think the diesel should get better than 18mpg, my 2wd diesel burb got at least 22mpg. My 4x4 diesel burb gets 19mpg. My guess is the truck has a 700R4. Not sure about the rear gears, of the 3 diesel rigs I have in my yard the 2 Suburbans have 4.10's and the 83 4x4 shortbed has 3.73.
