Need your opinion on a good used truck, half ton or bigger
Hey guys. Were looking for a good used truck, either half ton to a 1 ton.
The story is; is that we bought a '05 F350 Diesel with the 6.0 liter last year.
Problem is; is that that 6.0 is catastrophic lemon. It was an amazing truck asides from that, but the engine just killed over at 205k km's. You can still see the ad we have in the marketplace for it. It ended up selling on Kijiji in literally minutes of that ad going live.
Now we need something else, most likely not a diesel at this point, since we've had horrendous luck with both Dodge & Ford at this point.
After blowing $10k+ trying to keep that F350 on the road, Not entirely sure whats a good bet. So we have $20k into that, that we just sold yesterday as-is for $3500.
Anybody know whats a good choice at all? we need this for our farm in southern Sask. Basically anything Consumer reports recommends is likely a bad bet as they're the most biased publication known to man.
We also need an actual truck, so Ridgelines are out of the question. Much the same with Dodge as I have had really bad experiences with them in general (countless electrical problems & design issues).
Ideally we'd love to get a newer (current gen) Tundra, but dont have the $$$ as of *right* now.
Anyway, let me know what you guys suggest. Thanks a ton for reading this and offering any suggestions you can.
