Need tow vehicle advice
Needing some advice on my tow vehicle. I pull a Rockwood fifth wheel that weighs 9,000 loaded. I currently have a 2003 GMC 2500hd with the 6.0 gas motor. My combination weight is within 100-200 pounds...

Seriously, depends how much you're looking or spend how New you want as to which trucks have what issues.
Diesels I'd consider to be reliable or not have fatal flaws (not just the engine but the whole package) are roughly in this order.
'14-up anything. ('15 -up Pstroke for the exhaust brake)
'11-up Dmax
02-07 Dmax
94-07 Cummins, stick shift only
99-03 7.3 Pstroke. Stick shift preferably.
Any reason why you don't list the 08-10 Duramax? I found a 2008 I'm going to look at and interested why you didn't list those few years.
Of the early dpf emissions, the Duramax is probably the best of them, but I didn't list any 07.5-10 (or 2013 Ram) because they all were more finicky or problematic with emissions than the earlier or later counterparts in my opinion.
Otherwise bulletproof essentially unchanged drivetrain since 2001, says something.
