The rigs I see most are the Ford 150 and 250, most with the factory towing package. Ford seems to make a good diesel these days, and a lot of people run them. The Chev Duramax, which some people swear by, and others swear at, seems to have a injector problem, and we've heard some horror stories about dealers who refused to honor the warranty.

Gas went up and Diesel didn't as much, but gas is going down again. I get about 11 mpg with my 5.8 litter sequoia. Sometimes gas is better, and cheaper to fix if it is used. Problem is Toyota's hold there value, and I could sell my 08 for a few thousand less than I bought it for. I got a great deal on it. Sometimes you can find older trucks with low millage but then you have to consider what else is going to go wrong with it.
