With the gas crunch on there are several tow vehicles coming up for sale that have low miles on them. Ford 460 versus Chevy 454. Anything to watch out for in the years between 1994 through 2004?

Diesel is good for towing but they still seem to command a premium. For the limited amount of trailer towing I do, gas is fine for me.

Experiences and thoughts?
