I definitely want a diesel! I probably should get a dually. I was hoping to get some advice about that given the specs I gave. (30' 5th Wheel with GVWR 13,000.) I'd need a long bed for the 5th Wheel, unless I wanted to get something like a Pull-Rite slide. I want a 4 door. (Actually, my wife wants a 4 door!)
I've been told by a few people that I should look for a Dodge Ram 3500 2003-2004.5 SRW or dually long bed with a Cummins engine. One of the things I want to know is if I should confine myself to looking for a Cummins or if I can broaden my search to a PowerStroke or a Duramax.
Thanks.

harry a 3/4 ton will pull your 30 ft no problem at all. I like the dually when I get in the corners I dont get the side to side motion and it just feels safer.I pull a 34 ft with my 2003 duramax.And yes you should look and drive them all. they all have had their problems,hope this helps and good luck.

I'd be looking for a lower mile 06 - 07 duramax dually (pre DPF) Or 06 - 07 dodge cummins last of the 5.9's.
Stay away from the fords. Those two trucks i listed are going to give you a lot of bang for the buck.

I owning a ford would still say for somebody thats driving all e country should get a cummins. and LORD just fyi only early 07 is 5.9L. Bakc to op, The reason i say cummins is because the truck will need the least ammount of maintenece and be the best bang for $25k. Shoot you can find nice 08/09 dodge dually's for $25k.
