Wish I knew too... looking more for Fords but amazed how hard shopping has been
One thing I have noticed, LOOK OUT for Canadian trucks.
Read that it is easier to show a clean Car Fax, the exchange rate makes it better for sellers, more corrosion from salt/chloride, and possible issues with factory warranty claims in US for Canadian born trucks.
I been seeing so many Canadian trucks that I started researching a little and found a lot of stories about these things.
And they’re slower than frozen honey, eh?!
I'm leaning towards DODGE 2500 w/ Cummins diesel. My buddy just bought new Chevy doesn't like the gas mileage. My concrete guy had a Chevy got rid of it for the Dodge and he says the Dodge is 5x better.Quote:

I'm not on FB anymore. But I bought two used vehicles off there and had good luck with both. Their search is geographical, so you may have to broaden your search.Quote:

Repair cost was upwards of $4K for them to handle the repair, which was an $800 part, a few bolts and coolant level drop for the repair. The hardest part would be timing the unit as you have to have the computer to do that. They ultimately warrantied the whole turbo, which had a new actuator on it already. I was gun shy after that experience.Quote:
