Greg,
I sold my 1500 and bought a used Chevy 2500 with the Duramax for the same reasons. I can't comment on the Dodge but can say you wont regret moving up to a diesel. I pulled my 23 Grady and now my 26 Regulator with no effort. Diesel repairs are infrequent but expensive when they do happen. Day to day performance is great (about 17 mpg) and I've been told I can expect around 300k miles with proper maintenance. I can tell you that my next truck will be a diesel as well (whether I'm towing a boat or not). I think any of the big three (Ford, Chevy, Dodge) are great trucks. They each have their own pluses/minuses. Good luck with your search!

Spiro

I dont make boat builder money so I have to look used. Sorry the Powerstroke 6.0 sounds like a disaster. Cummins is king in diesels! Too bad it is in a dodge truck ... Besides I have to parallel park in DC often. The length of the ford makes it tough.

Unless I find a deal. It aint happening anyhow. Wife has my wallet on a leash

question.. would you go for:

a 2003 4x4 with 60k on it with no service records

or a

2005 4x2 with 90k and all dealer service records.


both can be had for about the same price. I currently have a 4x2 and have never had a problem at a ramp. I do drive ~25k a year.

I would go with the '05. One thing I think you should look at (and don't buy without getting one) is the extended warranty. I would think it would be cheaper on the 2005.
