Default Time for new truck

I had a 2004 6.0 liter F350 dually that I totalled in September. I was not happy with the maintenance issues with that particular truck. blown head gaskets, new injector springs, multiple sensor issues- that last of which occurred at 76000 miles after warranty ane cost me $1600.00.

Any ideas about which way to go next? I tow a 14,000 pound Fith wheel RV which my wife and I live in full-time. We travel across the country including the Rocky Mountains, so it needs to have good power.

Thanks,

Leon

The chev or dodge are your best bet. Depends on what you like/want. Both will drag your trailer fine. Good luck and welcome.
