Hello guys

I currently own a 96 F250 7.3L automatic with 86,000 miles on it. It's a great truck, but I frequently haul between 4 to 6 horses with it and have been thinking I may need something with a bit more pull. I've looked into modifying this one, but I've also been looking at 2 other trucks that seem like they may do the job better.

The first one is a late 99 F250 with the 7.3 and a 5 speed manual. It's also low miles, 68,000, and seems very well taken care of.

The second is an 02 Dodge 2500 with a 5.9 Cummins with a 6 speed. 79k miles.

Both of the other trucks are stock, and would cost me about 2k more than what I have in mine, but look like great trucks.

I know there is a lot of knowledge and experience floating around this forum, so any input you guys would have would be great. Advantages/disadvantages of the different trucks, suggestions, etc.

Thanks!

Ryan

 

What would the truck be doing? Daily driving duties plus the hauling of horses/hay? Do you want to keep it stock and only add things to make it reliable?

 

How much power are you wanting? The 94.5-97 powerstrokes are by far my favorite pickup. You can't go wrong
