> I have no experience with the ford myself. I was seriously consodering one when i bought my truck but lassed it up because of the stuff i read about the 6.4s mileage. Otherwise they seemed like a good solid truck. I just wasn’t interested in doing anything to it. My dmax gets 17 regularly and over 19 all highway, 15/16 if i do a lot of towing. It’s been a good truck so far.it’s an 08 and can be found for around the price you’re looking at. If i had to do it again I’d go older and avoid some emissions shit.

Nice. Probably just stay on the safe side and go with a duramax. So far ive found an 05 and an 07.5 that sparks her interest.
