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...

Hey, I want to thank everyone who responded to my query - this is quite a positive community! ]b] It all seems to point to a 3/4 ton Chevy/GM with a D'max & allison - ideally with a 5 or 6 speed - as an ideal setup for us. Especially useful were all the comments on the Fords out there - I would never have known of these problems and might have walked right into some salesman's "ambush"! Thanx again!
Reading comprehension is a funny thing. Although the TV you mentioned was suggested there were other's also. I understand the Ram not being in the mix for some folks, just because it's a Chrysler but you might also consider thinking out of the box :W
Anyway the only reason for the post was to suggest a 35 series over the 25 series of trucks. A 13k lb fiver in most cases will exceed the 25 series ratings.
Good Luck and happy camping.
