Cold in anchorage isn't a big deal. It gets colder in MN. A friend of mines neighbor has a diesel that sits outside in anchorage all winter and most people...whether gas or diesel plug in during the cold days.
Money...don't have any. I am coming fresh outta grad school so I don't have much. My options are a gas nissan, toyota, dodge, or used diesel. I am pretty sure the Titan is the best for the money but a used diesel might be better for hauling. Toyota way too expensive...but what about a dodge. It has hauled alot of weight for alot of years. Do you think the nissan is as good. Given the 50 cents more per gallon....wow it just doesn't even come close when it comes to diesel. Gas is still more economical. So there it is. Any opinions/advice.
Ohhh and I start work in April but we will probably move in August. Road shouldn't be too bad at all.
Thanks for all the help.

6 or 7k LBS is nothing for this truck, and the HEMI Ram can't touch the Titans towing ease from all the comparos I've read. And a 20-22 foot boat won't weigh any more so you'll do fine. Good luck on the move.
