I need advice on which truck to buy????????

Question

I need a 3/4 ton or 1 ton pickup that is a diesel for the power im looking for like the 1999s-2000s ford or maybe a chevy which one would you choose?

I dont like dodges so dont even mention them

i haul gravel, rocks, landscaping equipment, all sorts of stuff like that heavy and light

Answer 1

I hate to tell you this but the Dodge is by far a better diesel than the ford or chevy.  I have been in the business for 24 years and will only recommend the Cummins Diesel in those model years.  SORRY!!!

Ford- Never, the new 6.0 is junk

Chevy/GMC- Anything newer than 2006 is ok

Answer 2

7.3 powerstroke diesel

99-02

I've been a mechanic for 20 years- I haul many things, including a ton of gravel after recent landscaping. These trucks won't let you down. It will be the toughest, most maintainence free diesel you can get, and I've seen them with over 1 million miles on them (with regular maintainence).

Answer 3

why not mention them?

the Dodge Ram 2500 turbodiesel 2WD is by far the most reliable and dependable.

most if not all other Dodge trucks are unreliable but the Ram 2500 Rules!

your bias to Ford & Chevy is foolish unless you are a mechanic or love repair bills
