Tow Vehicle-F250?
I am in the processing of looking a for a new truck. I currently have an '07 Chevy Tahoe, and it struggles while pulling the star. I am looking at the Ford F250 with the diesel engine. Does anyone have any experience with this truck or similar trucks?
Keep in mind that I commute two hours total each weekday (120 miles total), and every morning before work I trailer the star to the river and back (total of 58 miles). |

And thank you for the input. I will look into the 350 as well. |

I would recommend not to get the 6.0 L Diesel . I have an 2004 F250 with only 62K miles and have spent over 9K in repair bills on the trans and engine and have heard the same stories on the 6.4L I have heard the new 6.7L in the 2011 that ford built has had no problems and the torque and HP is amazing

duramax
I have always been a chevy guy and now drive a '09 F250. It was a deal through my work. Now, with that being said, it's been in the shop for leaky engine and crank seals three times. I've only had it about 4 months and I'm not sure what motor is in it but, it pulls a lot weaker than my '06 duramax lbz. I'm sure it's just a fluke but it's definitely been a pain, just my 2 cents.

2011
I want to get a 2011 because I have heard better things about the new diesel engine. I'm looking to get one that is certified pre-owned with 20k miles or less.
I am very appreciative for all of the input. I have driven Chevys since I was 16 and have not had any bad experiences until my current SUV, which is a 2007 Tahoe. I am ready for a change of scenery so to speak. Is the 6.7 l diesel only offered from 2011 and up? |

In town driving is 15.5 mpg which isn't too bad for a CC/4x4/Dually. Last edited by 03 35th Anniversary; 07-31-2011 at 04:01 PM. |
