I'm looking for a replacement truck
Ok, first off, I don't want to start a brand war here, but would appreciate some input based on experience.
My TC hauler, a 1997 Ford F350 diesel dually suffered frame damaged by hurricane Michael. It may be repairable, but since I also have to replace my camper (with a likely heavier one), I am seriously considering a truck replacement as well.
First off, I cannot justify a new truck. Most use will haul the camper a few times a year then minimal use otherwise.
Looking through searches, I find the Optimum Diesel Truck is considered to be a Ford body, Cummings diesel and an Allison transmission. Obviously that doesn't exit.;)
That said, what should I definitely stay from? Pros and cons of the three majors Ford, GM, Chrysler. Specific years to look for or avoid and equipment to look for or avoid. What about diesel vs. gas?
Obviously I want a dually.
Thanks,
Dale
