Looking At Diesel Trucks

[Bfields30]

Ford 250-350 & Dodge 2500 used trucks most of the ones I've been checking our 2012-2016 less than 120 k miles.

Any pros cons you guys have had with them any advice can help as well as anything I should look for to stay away from.

After driving Dodge diesels for nearly 20 yrs I have to say the new 6.7 Ford I bought last year is hands down the most powerful. Last Dodge I bought was a 2012, put around 100k on it with only a few minor issues.

Price was most of the fords I seen are reasonably priced and there used and not beat up

I would definitely stay away from the chipped ones/with younger owners. I think on the used market ford is going to give a better value, as far as options.

1 uncle has a 2015 f350 he loves it
1 uncle has a 2016 f250 he loves it
1 uncle has a 2018 ram 2500 he likes it but barely uses it
Dad has a 2016 ram 3500 its had a lot of warranty and recall work
Little cousin has a 2019 ram 3500 it's a pos he's already had to put it in shop 4x since buying it.
In my opinion you can't go wrong with a Ford they are good trucks

Dodge always has been #3 of the big 3.
Hard to beat Ford or GMC.

Hey watch it! My 2012 is a gasser and it does everything I ask it to do.

IMHO Ford Superdutys with the 6.2s are the most reliable trucks on the road. We have been using them at work since 2011 and it is ridiculous how reliable they have been.

That is what I would look at if buying new or wait a short time on the new Ford 7.3 gas burner if you need more power.....If I was set on a diesel truck I would try to find one in good shape before the Tier 4 requirements were added..

Y'all remember my epic drama with my 2015 F250 diesel? Love a diesel but traded it in for a '16 gasser.
