Recommend truck to tow 5th Wheel?
#11
I owning a ford would still say for somebody thats driving all e country should get a cummins. and LORD just fyi only early 07 is 5.9L. Bakc to op, The reason i say cummins is because the truck will need the least ammount of maintenece and be the best bang for $25k. Shoot you can find nice 08/09 dodge dually's for $25k.
With your budget you are good. I would go with the Chevy. Duramax is a good engine, Crew cab is very roomy, and nothing can beat an allison trans stock vs stock. The Cummins is the best but the auto behind it is not the greatest. I would only recommend the Cummins if you can get one with a Manual trans.

for towing what you are going to tow you are right on target, dually and diesel and you are way ahead of the game. From there it's just preference and opinion, and on here you will get many. Best of luck.

The duramax would probably be my choice too, if it had a SFA. Not a fan of the independent suspension, especially when towing heavy. But you can't beat the reliability of the LBZ motors. The allison is a great trans, if you leave the motor stock power wise.
The cummins will more than likely be the least problematic engine, but there's not much else about the truck I care for, and I definitely wouldn't buy an auto, especially if you're towing heavy a lot.
The Ford's will probably need some preventative maintenance above what the others would need right up front, but once that is done you've got the best auto transmission of the 3 and the most refined interiors.
Of course these are all just opinions...
