Towing

My wife and I are trying to decide which would be our next truck to tow our T T we are thinking about a ford F 250 with 7.1 diesel or a dodge 2500 with a Hemi with auto trans and four wheel drive, 4 doors I think around a 2010 model ... Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks for the info
  • I did a lot of research before buying my 2006 Duramax... I love my truck!

    I love the Duramax Engine, 6 speed Allison transmission and no DPF fluid needed! I bought it with 180K on the clock and have had 30K of no issues so far!

    I had planned on buying a 7.3 powerstroke but all the Ford lovers wanted much too high of a premium for them. The Duramax was just a little more than a 7.3 Powerstroke and I firmly believe the Allison is much better than the transmissions that came behind the Dodges and Fords of the period.
  • Although its a lite if your towing in the mountains I would say diesel.....I have a V10 F250 and love the truck.

    You might want to try asking in the Tow Vehicles forum. Those there love to have those types of debates. ;)
  • Instead of us guessing, what exact year and model of RV/TT would you like to tow?

    Also... Will your tow vehicle be used as daily commute vehicle as well. If yes, what travel distance for daily driver.
  • Hi there- no suggestions per truck, but I'd bet folks would find it helpful to know what trailer you intend to tow with it. I see by your previous post it's a new Keystone Passport Ultralight, but model'size is likely to be helpful to suggesters.
