6.4...
Any truck you buy will potentially have it's issues whether its a Dmax or the Powerstroke. The 6.0 looks like its already had quite a bit of work done. It is a later model and in stock form might not be as bad as some of these guys have made sure to point out. If the 6.4 is in the budget, I would jump on it. |
Drive them all, do your research, learn as much as you possibly can about them on the forums, and make the best possible decision you can for the truck that fits YOUR needs, don't let us pick YOUR truck, in the end YOU'RE the one that needs to be happy with the truck and how it performs:pca1:

For the miles your looking at putting on there is only 1 truck I would consider. And you havent looked at that one yet. Strokers and Durmaxes are rated a 250K motor Cummins 350K.
Now I know there are Dmaxs and power strokes that go long after 250K but no matter what you should get more life out of a cummins plus oil changes and parts and service is cheaper on the cummins. Only truck I would consider from the group your looking at is the Duramax. That 6.0 service history says it all. It was a piece of crap, Do you think it is fixed now :humm: 6.4 is a fuel hog, atleast in stock form. |
Nuther opinion here....

Is a 7.3 in the options? It and the 12v are the perfect work trucks. They both have enough power, are drop dead relaible, get decent mileage. I wouldn't really get anything new without modding it to eliminate the emissions control.

Yes the rebuild interval on a Cummins is longer than the Dmax and Powerstroke. But that is just recommendations from the factory. A cummins that has been hot rodded will need to be rebuilt alot sooner than a Dmax that has been takin care of. Cummins are generally cheaper to rebuild. They have less moving parts and are simpler. But if you're going for either the Dmax or the Powerstrokes i would go with the Dmax hands down. Mainly because if you are getting an auto, nothing beats an Allison. Just my .02

Just what I have seen :tu: |
I agree sir but he said he was going to keep it stock. The 6.4 in stock form gets horrible mpgs. So comparing stock to stock with no plans to modify it, i think the Dmax would be the best.
