Would like your opinions...
I currently have 07 Tundra 4.7l 4x4 double cab....I get about 13-16mpg combined city/highway/country driving.... when I tow my 20ft boat (every weekend in summer) I get about 10-12mpg if I am taking it easy driving speed limit... When pulling a 4 place enclosed snowmobile trailer and one sled in the bed I am getting 7-9mpg (ouch!)
I am wanting a diesel... my uncles have gmc, dodge, and chevy all newer trucks... I don't wanna spend more than 5k out of pocket on the truck (trade in on my truck should be around 17k) so keep the budget around 22-23k
Things I need...
4x4
Extended or Crew Cab (crew cab would be great)
BEST MPG... at least for my money
Reliable!!... I do most of the wrenching on my vehicles
Automatic tranny.... wife drives the truck to work when the roads are bad
I also want to truck to last for around 100,000 more miles.. I usually get a different truck every 4-6 years
Truck needs to fit under 7' garage door...
I won't be jacking this truck way up in the air or throwing on 35'' tires. I will prolly get some different rims and tires but I will keep it driveable so I don't kill my MPG or be able to get into the garage.
I am not a fanboy and could careless what brand the truck is as long as it does what I need WELL... I am sick of getting 10mpg on vacation trips and filling up every 220-230 miles...
I live in East Central IL so I know winter will take some extra precautions with fuel and maybe other things I am not thinking of.
What year, brand, engine should I be looking at? How many miles is too many?

i could sit in either.... I like the GM seats more and the ride is better but is the GM going to get the fuel mileage a cummins will?
Again I would prolly mod the truck a little bit but I would still need it to fit in a 7' garage door.
