Would like a little advice from the group, but don't want to start a war. We currently own a 2003 Ford F350 dually with the notorious 6.0L diesel with a standard 6 speed transmission. I have put a lot...
Bottom line...a daily driver vehicle (F350 dually or Subaru Forrester) has to be a RELIABLE vehicle. One that you can trust every time you turn the key to get you there...work, the store, the hospital, where ever.
No compromises or lack of trust in my opinion - no matter what it costs to have that happen.
