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...

Everyone will have an opinion but in the GM Duramax a good engine is the LBZ found in the 2006 to 2007.5 (Classic) trucks. Pretty good engine and only weakness is potential fuel starvation but when this happens the engine will limp along and provide you with an opportunity to fix it before any damage is done.
Older Ford diesels are to be avoided though you will be tempted as they often sell for $5,000 less than a comparable Dodge or GM truck of same year and trim level.
