Tow Vehicle

I sold that truck to sledwrangler's girl friend. She was buying it to pull a 2 place inclosed sled trailer and that's the perfect size of trail for truck. She got a good truck for a very good price.

But I will agree with most the OP's trailer is to much for a half ton. I would try to find an older cummins instead.

Lot of older cummins owners are retarded I looked for a clean 2nd gen for over a year and ended up buying a newer one for cheaper. If you want to go cheap the "older" dodges have to be the worst bang for your buck rusted out bagged beast with 400k+ goin cheap 7500$$$$ phhhhhh

Yah you really need to search and if there's a good deal you got to jump on it! But yah I don't know where they come up with the prices.

There was an '03 gmc diesel 2500hd crewcab on here that just sold... It was around $10k and was low mileage..... Theyre out there if you look

A 5.7 Hemi is really low on torque when you hook it to anything. If you're on a budget, the gas GM 6.0 would be better. IMO.

And they both get really chitty mileage, so no clear winner there.

Older 5.7l had poor gas mileage..... My 2013 gets over 900km to 109.9l tank hiway speeds, with full truck box and 4 passengers, with a bullydog gas gt tuner and k&n oiled stock air filter. Can't call that bad gas mileage. Jus sayin

My 2010 was pretty good and better than my 2008. And now I hear how good the 2013's are, amazes me, the hemi doesn't get enough credit. Sucks gas when pulling from what I hear, then again what doesn't, my dmax isn't very impressive either...

 

[Summitric]

I put a little more fuel in my hemi than sbr in his '04 duramax when we filled up in hinton, and i was pulling a 19ft enclosed, loaded, and he was pulling a 2 place open, loaded, and a sled in the box ... So, yah, not bad.,..... My son has an '08 hemi and his gas mileage sucks, but he's probably a little heavier on the gas than i am? Lol

I'm kind of in the same boat... Got 291,xxx on my 06 sierra 1500 EC/SB and I'm looking for a different truck. 40 km a day city commute, jet boat in the summer, might occasionally pull a friends 19' enclosed with 2-3 sleds in the winter, maybe a truck camper in the future but not currently.... torn between a CC/SB 2010+ Sierra/Silverado w/ 6.2 1500 and a 6.0 2500... or a CC/SB 2010+ F150 w/ 5.0 (budget). Tough to stay away from a new GM unit with 0% for 72 months , but ive heard theres a fee associated with this financing? Might just keep budget low on a used company F150...

problem with the 2010-2014 1500 GM's is the CC/SB only comes with 5.5' box.

 

[NoBrakes!]

I don't mind the super short box. sled goes in there a handful of times a year and not much else

 

[gotboost]

Thanks for the advise will start looking at a 3/4 ton

They still make 3/4 ton trucks get a 1 ton not much price difference

Or a 8.1l which gets the same or close the same mileage as a 6L with way more HP and 10x better tranny!
If your going to go old school truck!
You can find these for around $10000
So they make a cheap puller ! I love mine for what it is!
