yeah GLC he drives it on the floor everwere. and floged it pretty good up north in the woods. and towed crazy stuff with it. towing or just driving it got 6mpg. when his wife drove it it got 12mpg.

yes diesel stuff costs alot more to fix and maintain but that diesel engine will run forever.

So will a well maintained V-10.

yeah its a nice looking truck.

the V-10's are great in them just not that great MPG.

2wd is nice think of it as cheaper maint. the front end of these things with 4x4 gets to be alot. IE a hub is 340 dollars PER SIDE for 4x4.

if you dont need 4x4 2wd will be fine. it has enough weight to it that in 2wd it goes threw alot.
