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...

Diesel is my preference, and 100-150K miles on it isn't a problem if I can review maint. records - oil changes being the most important.
This caught my eye. Just remember not to compare gas engine oil change intervals with diesel engine oil change intervals. On my truck 7500 miles is considered severe and 15,000 light duty. I wouldn't worry at all if the truck oil was changed every 8-10k. And don't get excited when you check the dipstick and it's black.
