ill stop now. Good day sir, and sorry for jerking around (Thats what she said)
So you drove that car at top speed constantly 
when you where on the "autobahn", because 116d and the 118d only had 114 to 120 hp and the top speed on both was 125 and thats i you had MT but i imagine that your going to come back and say to me that you had the 120d which top speed was 137, or wait no wait you had the 123d right with a top speed of 148. 
dude your the jackass read the above post where i said i was playing around
. Also the back seat is snug compared to my double cab tundra. I used to spend $80+ at the pump, and now it's $100-120 in diesel, but mpg went from 16 to avg20 mpg. I look forward to pulling my buddies 1G to the shoot out next month in his 20' enclosed trailer. Love love the cummins, loved the tundra and honestly if the tundra was 4wd I'd probably still have it. I told myself, if I'm getting rid of a truck I really like to get 4wd, it'll be a diesel so I had no more short comings...with my truck that is.
I drive one. I work in and out of it tho
I used to tow my DSM on a 16' full deck non-enclosed trailer with a 2005 Tundra with a 4.7L v8. Once I installed a brake controller so I had working trailer brakes. It felt pretty safe. Around my area which is relatively flat, the truck handled it well. On big hills or mountains the V8 worked its butt off, but more toque would have helped a lot. I mostly feared for the transmission even though it had a oem cooler and a tow package from the factory. My other problem with towing with the tundra was soft (comfy) suspension that squats with any load. Tow capacity was 6900# and loaded up for a weekend I probably pulled about 5000#. This was fine all day long on mostly flat terrain. A trip to the shoot out up th mountains would probably end with a over heated/over worked trans. I don't pull a car trailer more thana couple times a month, but my tundra was 2wd and I need 4wd more now at my new house.
With all of these factors and about a year and half of looking, I drove 350 miles to buy my '07 dodge 2500 quad cab single rear wheel 4X4 cummins diesel with auto trans.
I'm yet to tow my car, but I can say I love this truck. I have a beater car to commute in, but when I need to do a dump run or haul something, it's a pleasure. I have been babying my truck 90% of the time driving like grandpa and I'm avg over 20mpg (mostly hwy). I got over 23 mpg driving back from the dealer in Ohio (all highway). The truck is bone stock and even has wimpy hwy tread tires on it.
The diesel rides much rougher than the tundra, my wife asked if it was a bad road or the truck
Onto the truck! Thanks to Magnaflow, I didn't get everything that was supposed to be included in the kit. I'll get some recent pictures uploaded when I get the rest of the kit and find time to finish installing it. Hell, I'll throw up some videos too!!
it is, aside from a v6 diesel ..... 27,000 miles
Yes a few months ago. I have been rebuilding it in my automatic transmissions class. We only get two days (Thursday & Friday), of class to work on our projects. So it has been an interesting road, to say the very least. Or the nasty @$$ burnt stuff that came out of it. I swear to God the only other smell that is worse than this is old rear end/gear oil. Yuck! The biggest problem of this was the over drive unit. It is really too bad how weak they are. I never took pictures of the steels & clutches but it was pretty evident which ones were to blame.
