definitely enjoy 420 hp in a truck

Used Duramax? The drivetrain in those things with the Allison is bulletproof.

yea, stock. with a tune you can kiss that allison good bye. everyone acts like that allison is amazing, in stock form sure its a great tranny, but you start running real power your gonna destroy it quick, and its not cheap to build up.

fine, be stubborn about the year, its only the amount of maintenance I was referring to.

I personally am tossing the idea around of sellin my truck, and getting a SD truck... I could possibly go for a straight across (money wise) for a 2002 f2/350, or pay off my milan, and jump all over the 6.7 thats coming out, scary idea but they are testing it brutally.

but back to you. if it has to be 05+ write 3/4T+ FORD off the list.
Dodge you wrote off..
chevy, not very high on the list.


1/2 tons, depends on your actual use of the truck and condition of it when purchased.

also, its better for you to walk in to the dealer, say your interested in the truck at a certain price. if they dont meet you within $1k (be realistic, take the low end of ACTUAL recent sale prices of comparable models online like edmunds and KBB) just walk, tell them the vehicle you have works well enough.
I walked in with a 93 probe, told them I wanted $2k for the probe and I wanted the 06 milan premier v6 for 11k. I walked out with the probe, and the milan at $12750. comparable price was $14k at that time.

never said it had to be a 3/4, really don't care.

only reason im stubborn about the year is i dont want a 10+ year old truck thats a basket case. and people are wanting rediculous amounts for a 7.3 anyways with way to many miles.

i know what my trucks worth, and research what i should be paying for these trucks and dealers are no where close.

i looked at a 07 f150 4x4 a week ago, they wanted what the truck was new. 29k truck (after the 12k off we have here) asking 28,970 for a truck with 40k miles. screw that.

No, just write off the 6.0/6.4 diesels. The V-10 gasser is solid. The 5.4 is solid too but underpowered..

I don't understand these threads, everyones got a difference of opinion and this topic gets nowhere. If I had to do this, I'd think of needs and how much I can afford. Not having leather or diesel might have to be sacrificed. I know one thing, I'm not getting rid of my truck now to get another, it will be in addition to. Just saying it is hard to decide for someone else, just stay away from Toyota's- yikes!

while i like the 7.3, the trucks they are in are much more archaic feeling than 05+ sd's. my dads 06 6.0 will turn sharper rides better and is much more comfy than the old 01
