Ive been kicking around the idea of getting a used diesel for our out of town truck and towing.
Currently we have a 08 tundra 5.7 with 170,00 on the clock. I love the truck but we do a lot of 500-800 mile weekend trips with a 14' toy hauler and get 8-9 MPG.
I would like to get a bigger toy hauler and do longer trips.
Seems like there are some nice superdutys with the bullitproof diesel upgrades around 200k miles for $15-20k
Im not against a chevy or dodge either.
I guess i need to weigh the variables and what to look for or avoid.
I like the idea of the pre smog pre def trucks that can be turnt up for better mileage and power. I don't need to roll coal on 37s, just want better mileage and solid reliability on stock wheels
What do you recomend? 7.3, 6.0.,cummins, dmax?
My buddy has a 08ish dmax that im not too impressed with. I feel like the older trucks may be better
