4.88s behind the diesel I'd suggest around 40"+ tires to get you revs on the highway that are normal. I run 4.10s with 37" tires and like that for where and how I use my truck. If I towed more or had an auto I'd have gone with 4.30s.
I'd rather find an Excursion and swap a 6BT CRD in. Compound turbos, dual CP3, injectors, programmer, upgrades to transmission and suspension. Still be cheaper, more powerful, more capable, and more fuel efficient.
If a 1/2 ton is a fullsize, what is a 3/4 or 1 ton? Fuller size?

Google "Electric over hydralic brake actuator"
This design allows the use of hydraulic brakes on the trailer, and uses standard electric brake controller in the cab.
I prefer the manual for winter driving; shifts occur when you want them. I hate the manual when I visit the city and encounter heavy traffic.
In the 8 years since I have owned my current truck, I have only bump started if out of necessity twice; Once due to weak batteries and once when the...
