Best Diesel to tow 12,000-13,000 lbs?
Newbie here, so be easy on me eh? My wife & I are just beginning to consider what (used) diesel trucks to consider buying - to pull up to a 13K lb 5'er (not yet purchased). Looking at it another way...

I bought a 2005 Chevy 2500 D/A 4x4 with only 95k miles on it. It took a long time to find it. ALL of the Big 3 have their goods/bads.... I found some nice Dodge 2500/3500, but they were early (2000-2005) up north, I stayed away because of the potential rust. I looked for a 7.3 Ford, but stayed away from the 2003-2006??) Navistar engines. Wanted a pre-2007 Duramax due to emissions, so finally settled on an LLY Duramax. Knock on wood, 20k miles since November 2012 and she is a beast. It was hard to find a stock truck, but they can be had. I would suggest hitting up the truck forums...duramaxforum.com has been a big help, plus they have the engine types broke into groups....
Good luck.
