Need a diesel.
Ok I love my F-150 tows my trailer better then I thought, but want to upgrade to a larger truck and a diesel. I want to be able to tow my trailer and have a deck on the box with a couple of quads on it. I was wondering what people think would be the best truck and what year. I have heard so many bad stories about all the diesel engines, Ford Chev, dodge, I just dont want to buy a lemon. So lets here your thoughts.

the 6liter is a good choice in my book..try and find a 05 and newer..the 6.4 has not been out long enough to be proven...alot of folks bad mouth the 6liter but i have one and will by another pretty soon...I work on duramax's and i like them alot. They are some great engines and are very fun to play with.. They all have there issues and problems, it kinda come down to your personal preference. I got a nice lly i will let go at a great price if interested
 . Just go and drive them all and see what one makes you happy.

I know of too many 6.0s puking, head gaskets and stuff like that. Yes its all on a personal preferance. If I could have a 3126B in my F350 then it would be there. I do have a 7.3 and just went camping with the kids pulling a 1500 pound trailer and the bed full of stuff and got 19 mpgs. Each brand, make, has their flaws.
