What Truck To Buy

[DavidWJ]

That GMT900 is far better than any new truck, especially a new diesel with DEF and all those electronics.

I had major engine problems with both. I know some folks swear by them, some swear at them.

Same could probably be said for GMC & Chevy (never had a Dodge, so I can't/won't comment on them). sometimes you get the elevator, sometimes you get the shaft.

I have a 95 350 7.3 with over 300000 miles and a 15 250 6.7 both pull and run great I have a15 42 foot xlr toy hauler

Well after owning 2 Rams, 1500 put 250,000 miles on it and 17 years, now have our second Bighorn and have test drove them all brands. I have to say the Ram rides like a Cadillac. Do some test driving. I've pulled various large horse trailers with living quarters on them and now our Flagstaff 529BH 5er. Pulls like a dream. Best of luck.

Had a 05 Ram 1500 with the 4.7 and pulled a Trail Runner 24RK. The Ram pulled okay, gas mileage sucked. Upgraded to Chevy 2500 HD Diesel and a 2021 CC Silverback 33ik. Chevy pulls like a dream. Love the 33ik.

Thanks to all who responded. Sorry for the delayed response. Have been boon docking for the last two weeks with no services. I appreciate all of the responses and have not made and decisions on new truck or keep the current one.

Currently on the way home from Yellowstone and the back country.

I'm considering a new chev or gmc crew cav 4x4 with the new 6.6 gas engine. Anybody have one that could share their actual experience?

We have a thread or 2 on that. Search for 2500HD Gas or some such. I’m on my phone or I’d do the search for you.
