Default what would be the ultimate diesel pickup for you?

just for fun, mine i believe (from what i've read and what i've learned from friends,drove,and had hands on work with) mine would be a '02 thru '07 f-250 or 350 w/a 12 valve cummins and allison tranny (4x4 of course) would say '08-'10 but just dont like the looks of the front ends (please take no offence for that)
but any way, just wondering.
thanks.

A modern version of the Jeep MJ 4x4 with a good Common rail, like the 2.8, engine.

Not to big to get good mpg and to keep costs down.
