2011-13 Duramax is the only way to go :****:

These can hold a load for sure. My dad had a 06 and 08 3500 that needed airbags for his slide in camper. The 11 and now the 13 handle the load better without bags. Camper weighs around 7500 loaded plus a 20' bass boat behind it.

Well. ... Ford 00-03 has the worst steering ever can't keep one in a strait line for nothing. Newer model 6.0 Ford motor sucks. But are very strong if you can get a good one with all the work done there okay. I will never own a Ford my grand parents and dad has Ford's and are considering getting a Dodge. I have a 06 Dodge 2500 and love it. So good would say Dodge but since Dodge agin it your question I would go dmax if I couldn't have another Dodge. Good luck thoug. If it's a dmax get 08 or newer there bad ass

Yea i have a 2011 dmax now. The best on the market, as far as im concerned. 2011 and up have more HP and torque than the older years, and all of them, from what ive seen, are very dependable.

Some of the new 6.7 Fords are having engine problems, and the 6.4s and 6.0s are nothing but junk. The best Powerstroke to have, would be the '02-'03 model 7.3s.

I've owned a 06 megacab 5.9 cummins, and a 2011 6.7 both pulled great, but the A/C sucked in both trucks, and the seats were uncomfortable as hell.

I've got an '01 dmax, with 198,000, I've had it for 7 years and love it, I had an 06 cummins and hated it, luckily I still had my dmax to fall back on, dmax for life!

jccarter1 · Jul 21, 2013

Older fords great trucks and motors will pull whatever you put at it and last forever down side 14 mpg and hard to find one that doesn't have 300,000 miles on it and the guy selling it keeps telling you that "it is a diesel that is just getting broke in" Chevys are good motors they are just Tunned up from the factory not a whole lot of room to play with when it comes to tunning but the Allison tranny is great and makes a big difference just my experience with the two and second on the 6.0 they are a good motor if studs and cooler are changed they got a real bad rep but they make good power and can be found pretty cheap

I know it was said before but... Cummins is the way to go for 'Me'. I've driven and worked on them all. 2006 mega cab that I should have never sold 175k of trouble free miles

ibrokeit · Jul 21, 2013

This thread is dumb. He hasn't even said what his budget is.

In fact, he hasn't even posted since his first vague post.

BamaReno · Jul 21, 2013

duramax all the way :tc

both of my work trucks have it under the hood and they are awesome.. an 01 dually with 113xxx miles and an 06 with 85xxx with zero issues other than general maintaince. i bought an 08 crew cab 2500hd with only 51xxx last week for my personal truck and its a beast, feels like it would pull anything you want.. as fast as you wanna go :****:

lilbuggy · Jul 21, 2013

D Max all the way I've got an 06 3500 with the LBZ motor 392xxx and still get 18-20 around town. Only pain is the sealed unit bearings.

muslcr71 · Jul 22, 2013

H-Town Wheeler · Jul 22, 2013

I got 03 2500hd w/8.1 best damn pulling truck I ever owned! I've always been a Dodge man till I bought this truck.

mgiles · Jul 22, 2013

I've got an 08 ford dually with 6.4 with dpf delete and a tuner and its never missed a lick. Verystrong and durable truck. I pull a lot of weight and its never let me down. I know the dmax is a solid truck but have never liked the styling and independent front.
