I'd like to add my welcome as well.

You can't go wrong with an M1008 as a work truck. My M1028A2 dually is more of a collectors truck than work truck, but she DOES get the chance every once and a while. At 57 year old I just don't use it to haul nearly as much as you would. But realize the M1008 is geared at 4.58 so it won't get great MPG (10-15) unless you change gears. But for a towing vehicle or a hauler, you just can't go wrong with an M1008. Top speed will be around 60 - 65 mph (unless you change out the gears).

Now if you want to haul PEOPLE? Go with an M1009. Higher top end speed an a shade better mpg, but it won't HAUL or TOW nearly as well.
