Hello,
I have been looking at trucks and I have narrowed it down to 2:
1) 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD Crew Cab Standard Box SLT; Duramax 6.6L V8 Turbocharged with 87K miles on it; and
2) 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD Quad Cab 6.3 Ft Box ST; Cummins 6.7L I6 Turbocharged; 59K miles on it.
The GMC is $1500 more dollars but is loaded with all the interior options. The Dodge looks plainer on the inside.
I am going to be pulling a travel trailer that is around 32-36 feet and 8500lbs for 9 months straight – wife and I are traveling for a while. I have not ruled out buying a fifth-wheel either. I am mostly looking for the most reliable truck.
Any recommendations on which truck is better and more reliable?
I also have my eye on a 2007 Chevy Silverado 4X4 fully loaded diesel with 50K on it but it’s a private seller, and he seems kind of shady.
Also, would anyone recomend a 2500 gas engine for this load?
