I like the Duramax.
The Dodge tranny is junk.
If you get an auto tranny, add an auxiliary tranny cooler and filter.

UPDATE: Memorial day sales just tempted me too much. Ended up going with a dodge Dakota /w V8 Magnum engine. Retail: 25K I got it for 17.5. It has power, isn't quiet as heavy as the 1500, but I'm happy wiht it

If you ever need more power, Paxton makes a great supercharger for that engine, which would give you more torque for towing :D

The only reason i didn't try GM was they were at the end of all the dealerships and didnt feel like walking that far lol

yes, but many diesels will last for 1M miles+
