Seeking Advice -- Purchase of Older 3/4 Ton Tow Vehicle

I think all mentioned would be good towing rigs. My BIL bought a 2000 dodge extended cab 2wd, with 5.9 diesel, in good condition for $10,000, last summer.

If you plan to use it for short errands, I think the gassers would be the better choice.

The V10 would likely pull up hill a little better than the 6.0, but nothing wrong with either, if you find one in good shape, for the right price.

I think the V10 showed up in the SD about 99, and was improved a little, a few years later.

Good luck,
Jerry
