Any help you can provide would be appreciated! I was nearly dead set on getting a Tundra with a 6.5 or 8 foot bed with a Flippac but stories about terrible MPG's with the 5.7L are turning me off. Now I'm considering a 2008 or newer Dodge 2500 with diesel with Flippac or a 2010 or newer Sprinter/Promaster with the shorter wheelbase. Need to haul/sleep wife, two kids, and dog plus gear...decent MPG for this type of vehicle are my next priority.
Off road capability is not at the top of my priority list but driving in snow is. I would be using this to transport bikes and skis in Front Range Colorado on wintery mountain roads most weekends. Trips to Fruita/Moab/Zion 3 times a year. Maybe I should wait for the 4x4 Sprinter?
Thanks for your help! Suffering from analysis paralysis!
