well i've been looking at diesels for about a month or so. and i still can't decide what to buy. this is a huge step up for me as i currently have a ranger and am going to a 250/2500. i need the extra size for shuttling hay wagons and some other equipment. i decided on a diesel because i have a 60 mile roundtrip commute each day and figured it would be the best mileage,plus i may also end up getting a small commuter car in a year or so. i've test drove every brand gmc,chevy,ford and dodge. they all seem pretty similar, but i really like the gmc and fords the best. the dodge seemed to have the most power/torque, but i'm hesitant in dodges as we have those at work and the trannys /rear ends seem to go within 60-70k, although they're vans not trucks. the chevys were good as well but the gm seemed a step up from the chevy. just wondering what you guys/gals would suggest, thanks in advance.
