So Iv come to the point where Im starting to look for a new rig... and Id like to get a truck... im not planning on getting it till about march (taxes and bonus from work) but Id like to have an idea of what I want... im expecting to be spending about 20k for a decent one that will last me a long time... I want a quad cab short bed (got a kid, but im sure its not gonna stop there lol) so 4 doors would be more convenient..My boss loves the dodge diesels hes got a 07 3500 mega cab short bed a delete kit and 4in exhaust and gets about 23 MPG on the hwy... Iv been considering a diesel because of their reputation to last longer... 300K plus on an engine, but they are more expensive to fix and fuel is about .50 more a gallon... the trucks iv been looking at are:
Quad cab
Ford F150 (this is my # 1 choice)
Dodge 1500 and 2500 (diesel)
and the Chev 2500 diesel
Id like a truck i can keep for a long time not have to sell or be worried about it breaking down cause its almost got 200k on it ( i know stuff happens)..
I plan on pulling a cargo trailer for my quads bout 16 footer... so it needs to be able to pull that ok... gets decent gas mileage ( i know it wont be amazing at least 16 on hwy would be nice)
Iv got a 4.7lt in my jeep now but i think it would have a tough time pulling a 16ft trailer and plus it got 162k plus on it so i dont wanna put to much stress on the tranny/engine..
So any input would be great!!! thanks!!!
