Exclamation A little Advice

i have come down to wanting a Dodge 3500 Diesel (of course) or the GMC 3500. It all comes own to the price and wht i can get with it. Im saving up and buying it next year.. Dodge is in the lead tho . Where should i be looking for a great used Dodge truck? i hear look in warm areas becuase old trucks in cold climates with snow the salt eats away at it?? or should i go brand new and diesel bomb the crap outa it? any advice?? Looking forward to your help guys take care....

yeah if you can find a southern truck thats good, if there taken care of decently then northern trucks will be fine

If you can afford a brand new truck i would go with the new 6.4 from Ford, there getting those things figured out and guys are making over 500 Hp at the wheels with nothing more then deleting the DPF, adding a tuner, and putting a new air intake on it.

i was dump when i got mine and got it from up north, the truck is rusted bad. if ya get one, id suggest somewhere in the south, or make sure if ya get one from up north it was washed underneath regularly in the winter. if i was gettin a new truck id get a ford, just cause i like the way the handle and ride better. good luck with the search
