I've owned a Dodge Durango w/5.7 Hemi and had great luck with it...but it was an SUV and not a truck. I also know this is as divisive as talking politics, but I need your inputs and suggestions.

Whether you go diesel or gas, Chevy-Ford-or Dodge, size of the fuel tank rules...
I bought a 08' Chevy 2500HD with the long bed. It's a pain to park sometimes (longer than the average parking space) and it doesn't turn on a dime but the extra range I get is a bonus. Mine is also a 2x4 because I reasoned it was a highway truck. I have gotten stuck a few times in soggy grass or sand but I keep a tow strap in the truck and friends handy.
Hope this helps. Safe Travels!
