A New Truck for me?
I'm starting a small auto hauling business. I've got a 5 car trailer and a 2 car trailer. I've done my research on these trucks and I've narrowed it down between an '11 3500 Silverado Duramax and an '11 F-350. I was however pondering a F-450. Would the 450 give me any edge over the duramax or 350?
Thanks guys.

From all the tests and articles Ive read the LML Dmax seems to be a better engine than the 6.7 PowerStroke, but honestly either truck will do whatever you need it to with ease.
I would also think the 450 would have bigger brakes (better stopping power) along with the lower gearing, probably stronger axles and frame also.

There was a huge write up in diesel power.. i think. THey tested em here in co, both had a trailer with a lot of weight on it. and the Chevy blew the ford out of the water. It was not even close. here read this!!

Just make sure if you get a tuner that you can remove it without it leaving a foot print in case you have to take it to the dealer for work.
