Diesel:
ford 2000 - 2002 buy the standard transmission
dodge up to 2007 buy the standard transmission
Gas:
Ford V10 - all good, but 3 valve and 5 speed auto are better
Ford 2011+ 6.2L gas with 4.30 rear end
Chevy 2007+ 6.0L 4.10 rear gears and 6 speed auto.
Ram 2011?+ 6.4 Hemi
I don’t know a lot about the chevy diesel trucks, so it’s hard for me to comment on them. I’m sure they are good and I hear the Allison transmission is also good.
Since you didn’t specify gas or diesel and didn’t say what you will be pulling, I would say a single rear wheel F350 crew cab long bed 2011+ with the 6.2 gas and 4.30 rear end. I’d buy a white one with cloth seats. Watch for high engine idle hours when you shop.
